Summer Greetings
 

Tick tock!  That's the clock, reminding you that the lazy, hazy and really HOT days of summer are about to run out.  It's time to enjoy the last few weeks of summer before the back-to-school activities start coming full force.  But perhaps you can take a few minutes now and think about how you would like to be involved on Parent Forum this coming school year.
 
PARENT FORUM IS YOU!!!! and ALL the St. Joseph School parents who provide valuable time and talent to the many events and activities that our students and families depend on. We are the main auxiliary group of the school that facilitates social, community-building and fundraising activities. The Parent Forum also assists with necessary school operations such as lunch room and playground duties, communication with parents, music and art programs, securing teacher and classroom supplies and other functions.  Please see the Parent Forum section of the school website for a complete list of functions.
 
Approximately August 15, you will receive an electronic survey showing all the committees and activities for which parent volunteers are needed during the school year.  Meanwhile, there are many activities that will be starting when school begins.  To be scheduled to work during August and September, please contact the specific Committee Chair as noted:
