Thanksgiving Luncheon
Wednesday, November 15th is our traditional Thanksgiving Luncheon. This annual event includes a family style meal prepared by our kitchen and served by many parent volunteers. Our Kindergarteners will delight us with singing prior to the meal as well! We will run two lunch sessions 11:30-12:00 and 12:30-1:00. This is a very special day for our staff and students.  Many thanks to all of our parent volunteers who make this day possible, especially Sheri Baker who chaired this event.  We are still looking for volunteers to assist with this event beginning at 11:00 a.m..  If interested and able to come, please contact Sheri at sheribk@gmail.com.  Thank you! 

Family Flu Clinic
Saint Joseph Public Schools is proud to partner with Lakeland Health in offering a one day flu clinic to parents and students at SJPS. Please register in advance online. Insurance will be billed (bring insurance card), or $30 cash.

CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Lear's class! They were the winners of the fall Box Tops Challenge! A special thank you goes out to Cheryl Thompson for organizing this event and to Chris Thompson of Farmer's Insurance for sponsoring a pizza party for the winning class!

Ms. Zelenock's class were also big winners this week! They were awarded a special cookie party for the most laps walked/run in the primary grades during the walk-a-thon AND they donated the most candy to the troops and received a popcorn party and $100 worth of books for their classroom library courtesy of Fully Alive Chiropractic.  WOW!

Mrs. LoPresti's class also enjoyed some delicious cookie treats for walking/running the most laps in our upper grades during the walk-a-thon. Way to go!
