We are excited to bring back Special Person's Day this year.
Special Persons Day is an annual event at St. Joseph Catholic School. Students may invite "special persons" such as grandparents, aunts/uncles, neighbors, etc. to a special morning at school. The morning begins when our "special people" meet us at church. We attend mass together and then go to the gym for refreshments. The morning concludes with the opportunity to visit the child's classroom(s). All special people are asked to join us at church by 8:05. There will be ushers inviting you to sit in specially marked areas of the church. The children are brought over by classes and are given assistance to find their special people in the pews marked with the letters of the students' last name.
