Attention Needed

Parents, please be aware that for some children, the only symptom of Strep may be vomiting; some children do not have any fever or no complaint of a sore throat. I would like to stress that if your child is not acting like themself or is exhibiting any symptoms of illness please do not just keep them home, self-treat, and send them back to school only for them to start showing symptoms later. 


When your child starts manifesting multiple symptoms, they have already exposed their classmates to their illnesses. As a result, the cycle of infection continues. 


We continue to do our part in school and ask for your support in controlling the spread of illness by keeping your child home if they are sick and taking them to their doctor for testing and treatment as appropriate.  

Lunch Program

Volunteer for Lunch and Recess!

St. Joseph Catholic School will implement a 12-hour family service requirement, effective with the 2023-2024 school year. All families are encouraged to participate, and many opportunities exist to volunteer time, talent, or treasure, including class field trips, parties or other classroom help, cafeteria, recess and hands-on activities such as art or outdoor classroom activities. The PTO also has numerous opportunities such as the auction, Donut Sundays, etc.  All volunteers must be compliant through the Child Protection Program if they will have substantial contact with students. Families that do not participate in the service program will be charged a $120.00 fee, or partial fee of $10 per hour for hours not volunteered.

Saints and Spirits

The next Saints & Spirits is Monday, March 18th at 8:15pm at my home - 894 Station St, Herndon VA 20170 (thanks for your patience with scheduling in the new year!). For those who gave up alcohol as a Lenten penance, other non-alcoholic beverages will be available and I encourage you to still come for the fellowship and saint discussions.


If you would like to present on a saint and/or select or purchase a spirit for the evening, please let me know.


Please RSVP by March 13th if you plan to attend. Feel free to share this invite with others who may be interested, too (last minute additions are also welcome!).
