News from the Lunch Room
We would like to remind everyone that breakfast and lunch are FREE again this year to every St Joseph Public School student. Please try to remember to pre-order your student’s lunches when they are going to participate in lunch. This helps speed up the morning lunch count process. You will be allowed to order the Friday before the next week using www.sendmoneytoschool.com.
Due to the supply chain issues we are having with our vendors and food outages we will be providing a one week menu on our website and blogs on the Sunday before the next week. This will alleviate us having to make constant changes to a monthly menu and keep you better informed.

Let's show our educators they are appreciated!
We want to share your stories about how our educators have shown support and dedication to our students. We are looking for stories about all education personnel – teachers, bus drivers, school lunch staff, paraprofessionals, custodians, coaches, librarians, administrative assistants, and anyone who is an important part of a student’s educational success.
To submit a story about a St. Joseph educator that has made a lasting impact on a student, please send story background, participant names, relevant pictures, and any pertinent information including quotes and specific story elements to Kelly Gaideski, Campaign Contact, at kgaideski@sjschools.org.

Bucks for Brown is Looking Ahead
We are looking for a few more people to round out our Bucks for Brown committee. These roles would be in planning next year’s event and helping secure business sponsors for next year.
We also are looking for a couple of people who would be interested in heading up the spring picnic together. This year would be spent working with the current chair, and next year the new leads would take over.
If you are interested in either committee, please contact Sheri Baker or Kristen Bawks.
Most of our PTO events for the school year are already scheduled and can be viewed here. If you would like to help with any of these events, you can indicate interest through our form here.
Save the date for these upcoming hybrid PTO meetings. We will meet in the media center as well as offer a virtual connection option:
March 15 at 12:15
