The Fun Run is Coming!

Saint Joseph School is partnering with Boosterthon again this year for the 2023 Run For Gold Fun Run.

The run will take place on Thursday 10/19 for Preschool, PreK, and Grades 5, 6, & 7 and on Friday 10/20 for Kindergarten, and Grades 1, 2, 3, 4, & 8. 

The event will kick off with a pep rally this Thursday (10/5). Students will learn more about this great event that raises money for our school. Last year we raised over $60,000 and we know we can do that again this year!

Students simply register at funrun.com and get pledges from family and friends.

Volunteers are needed. There are many time slots available. If you would like to volunteer for the Fun Run please click here.

SJS School Counselor Movie Night

Saint Joseph School Counseling Department is pleased to host a screening of the movie "Screenagers" on October 19, 2023. Many parents have expressed concerns about their child’s use of technology, how to protect their children, and/or how to find a healthy balance. Our goal is to educate parents and initiate meaningful dialogue around this very important topic.

Teacher Wishlists

As the school year starts rolling - our homeroom teachers have prepared "Wish Lists" for their classroom. These will be shared via room parents. If you would like to support our Enrichment Specialists this year as well, they have prepared a "Wish List" for their classrooms.

Golf Classic Success

Join us in celebrating the success of the Inaugural Saint Joseph Classic Golf Tournament, hosted at Needham Golf Club this past Monday. With the generous support of 20 sponsors, over 50 golfers came together to raise over $15,000 for our 420 students. These funds are essential as tuition only covers 80% of costs, ensuring exceptional education for all. Congratulations to the winners, Mike Pohlman, Eric Hawkes, Mark Litke, and Mike Emrick, and heartfelt thanks to all who contributed.
