8th Graders perform service at Pass It On Ministry.

WE ARE NOW COLLECTING CANNED AND BOXED GROCERIES FOR OUR THANKSGIVING DONATIONS TO THE PARISH VINCENTIANS AND TO PASS IT ON MINISTRY. PLEASE BRING YOUR FOOD ITEMS IN BY MONDAY NOV. 23.

Thanks to All the Families Who Supported Our Fall Book Fair. The school earned $996.85 in cash to buy more books for the library and also took another $419 worth of books from the fair as part of our bonus points. Special thanks go to the families who bought books for the teachers from their Wish Lists. Their donations of $430 gave the teachers 50 new books for their classrooms.

SPANISH CLUB
Fiesta!
Spanish Club will discover and celebrate Christmas customs this month.

THE 8TH GRADE SERVICE PROJECT
will be a visit to Pass-it-on, a ministry in downtown Lorain which distibutes recycled furniture, appliances, and clothing plus food. Students will help sort the donated goods as part of their commitment to justice and charity.

You can help St. Joseph School simply by shopping and living your life as usual when you patronize one of a dozen of our fund-raising partners. Do you recycle newspapers? Shop for groceries? Buy gifts or gas? SJS can profit from all of these things at no extra cost to you. Check out the Fundraising button to the right to see how you can generously and painlessly donate to St. Joseph School!
