Parents Club Overview
Dear Parents,
The St. Joseph School Parents Club is committed to developing
a climate that promotes Catholic faith and community building
for our families. We will seek to instill supportive and cooperative
efforts from our school families and build a sense of greater
community, respect and positive relationships among our families,
students and staff.
Our objectives are as follows:
- To promote and provide spiritual growth for all SJS families.
- To help parents and teachers acquire a profound appreciation
of the Catholic education.
- To aid the faculty and students through service, projects
and fundraising efforts.
- To promote a closer bond and greater understanding among
teachers, students and
parents.
- To promote clearer understandings of the mutual educational
responsibilities of parents and teachers.
- To promote and assist in fundraising activities for the specific
needs of SJS.
As you can see by the Activities list below, Parents Club coordinates
many worthwhile events during the course of the school year.
Your personal and financial support is very important to the
success of SJS and is very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Your 2006-2007 Parents Club Officers
