Food Donation Calendar for Students at School Mass

As a school community, we all want what’s best for our children—socially, emotionally, and academically. With smartphones becoming more common in childhood, many families are asking tough questions about how early is too early and how we can collectively protect childhood in a digital age.

That’s why I want to share again a resource called the Wait Until 8th Pledge.

What Is the Wait Until 8th Pledge?

The Wait Until 8th Pledge empowers parents to delay giving their children a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade. It helps parents do this together—reducing the pressure and isolation many feel when trying to go against the norm alone. Over 115,000 families nationwide have already joined this growing movement.

You can learn more or take the pledge here: www.waituntil8th.org

Please come to the PSO's next meeting on Friday, November 6th at 7:45am in the PAR.
All school parents are welcome!

2027 SJA Gala - Save the Date - March 6, 2027

Help Us Make Connections for Our Annual Gala!

To maximize the success and impact of our gala, we are assembling a team of people to help us reach out to local business to help support the gala initiatives. Proud SJA parents, dedicated parishioners and friends of the community are all invited to participate!

As a member of our Gala Community Connections Team, you’ll be given a list of approximately 10–15 businesses, along with basic contact information and resources to help you make an initial connection. Your role is simply to reach out, introduce them to our Gala, and invite them to consider supporting our school community.

We’ll provide the information and talking points—you provide the personal connection. You may contact business that decline to participate, and that is understandable and perfectly fine; because you will also find businesses who are excited to participate and show support for our amazing school, students and teachers! It is a blessing to receive any donation from area businesses!

Interested in helping us build relationships with local businesses and make this year’s Gala the most successful yet? We’d love to have you on the team!

Please click here to express interest in hearing more. We need many volunteers for a successful event. If this doesn't sound like something you would a fit for you, please express your interest in hearing about more opportunities to help.
Thanks in advance!
