June 2025

The purpose of the St. Joseph Public Schools Foundation is to raise, steward and distribute resources to enrich the education of students in the St. Joseph Public Schools District.

YOU'RE INVITED

TO OUR NO SHOW BALL!

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE "NO SHOW BALL"?


We're glad you asked! We LOVE a party as much as anyone.


However, we know that SJPS supporters are SUPER BUSY!

Work, play, kids, grandkids, life...we get it!


This annual NON-EVENT provides you with an opportunity

to support a cause you're passionate about, without leaving your home.



THE BEST PART?

Our schools benefit and you can feel great about your full donation enriching the educational opportunities of all students in our district.


DONATE HERE!
