Spirit Dress for $1

Our school will partner with Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Alexandria to assist families with rebuilding and returning to their homes and schools. SJS will have spirit dress tomorrow, September 10th. Students may wear school jeans (*reminder - no jeggins or skinny jeans), any tennis shoes, and any SJS t-shirt (clubs, sports, fair, etc.) for $1 or any donation you would like to give. Students will make encouraging prayer cards and we will purchase gift cards for Home Depot, Lowes, Target, Walmart, etc. to put in each card.

Circles of Grace for Parents

It is required each year that the schools and churches of the Diocese offer parents information pertaining to creating safe environments for children. The Diocese provides these flyers for parents to review. The information on the flyer is set by the Office of Child and Youth Protection and changes each year.
