As we reflect on our blessings this week as a Catholic School, we must thank our parents and families. We know you choose a Catholic education for your child and we take this responsibility we share with you very dear to our heart. We know it is a sacrifice to choose a Catholic education for your children. We value your partnership with us and your commitment to helping keep SJS a faith-filled family community. Together we will continue to always put our students' best interest first. We feel blessed to be a part of shaping these children of God. Thank you again for sharing your most precious gift with us - your children.
