February Crusaders of the Month
Congratulations to kindergarten student Adley Landry and 6th grader Giselle Miranda for being chosen as our February Crusaders of the month! Students were recognized at assembly and presented with a certificate and a basket of goodies donated by Berrytown Produce !
The fair committee has decided to offer a tuition raffle. Every family will have the opportunity to purchase 1 ticket per the number of enrolled students for $25. Example would be if you have a student in 1st and 3rd you would be able to purchase 2 tickets. We will also be giving any new student that registers for the 2019 - 2020 school year, a chance to purchase a ticket as well. We will only be selling 550 tickets total. The drawing will be held on Thursday April 11th during morning assembly. The deadline to purchase your allotted 1 ticket per enrolled student will be Tuesday March 12th. On Wednesday March 13th, we will send a notice home offering for anyone to purchase additional tickets that have not been sold. For example, on Tuesday March 12th if we have sold 250 tickets then on Wednesday March 13th 300 tickets will be available for first come first sold until we sell all 550 or until the drawing date. If you win the raffle you will receive the value of an in parish student minus the registration cost. For example, St. Joseph Church Parish Families paid $4500 for the 2019 - 2020 school year. The check will be made out to the school and will have the family name on the memo line so that the office can apply it correctly. Attention 8th Grade Parents: St. Thomas Aquinas has agreed to accept the money from our raffle to be used towards their tuition for the 2019- 2020 school year. If your child is planning on attending St. Thomas, you are still eligible for this raffle at the value of an in parish St. Joseph Student.
