Book Fair

This week, during Catholic Schools Week, the Scholastic Book Fair is open to shop! The school earns points and scholastic dollars for each book sold. This year, there is also a competition involving the teachers: if SJS beats last years sales (around $7,000), then the teacher will have to wear their favorite team's RIVAL colors (for example: if Mrs. Johnson likes the Auburn Tigers, she would wear Alabama Crimson Tide on Friday). We can do it!

Online

The book fair is also available online from now until February 12 and the school still earns Scholastic Dollars. So, if you didn't get to shop, click here and shop online! Books will be delivered to the school, free of charge!

Thank You

SJS would also like to thank Mrs. Johnson for her hard work and all the volunteers who have made the Book Fair a fantastic place to visit!

Red Ribbon Week

October 22-26

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaigns in the United States. It all began to preserve the memory and cause of a Special Agent Camarena. He believed in a drug-free life and was tortured for his belief. After his death, members of Camarena's club began to wear red badges of satin or red ribbons to show their pledge of a drug-free life. Now by wearing a red-ribbon the last week of October, Americans show their support of a drug-free life. Here at St. Joseph, we believe in living a drug-free, tobacco-free, and alcohol-free life.

This year's "Red Ribbon Week" was full of exciting activities and zany dress up days. For "Hippie Day," the junior high comprehensive Math classes decided to take what they were learning in the classroom and apply it to real life. The students tie dyed their own shirts to wear for this special dress up day after spending a day crunching numbers, adding fractions, and converting measurements to mix the dye up for their shirts. The students all had a blast with this hands-on math experiment!
