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.
