Thank you!
THANK YOU for being a part of our Kids Heart Challenge Team this year!!! Together, we continue to help fight heart disease and stroke and the kids enjoy enhancing their jump-roping skills in the process.
With you on our team, our 1st-5th grade participants were able to surpass our school’s fundraising goal!! I am very excited to announce that because of our AMAZING kids, St. Joseph will be donating over $14,000 to support lifesaving work of the American Heart Association.
Congratulations to MRS. OWENS 1ST GRADE CLASS for being the top-selling class!! They will receive a special treat!
Also, because we have surpassed our school goal, everyone in grades 1st-5th will receive an ice cream treat!
All prizes have been ordered and will be here in 4 weeks!
THANK YOU again for supporting this wonderful cause!
