The construction company will be moving equipment on site and preparing to begin moving dirt over the next couple of weeks.  In preparation for that, we will have a new pickup procedure after school.  We will need you to enter from the Northview entrance and park along the side walk in a row.  Please pull forward as far as you can up to the flag pole.  We will let students load vehicles from the flag pole all along the sidewalk to the north end of the church building.  We ask the students load the vehicles from the passenger side if at all possible.  If not, please get out of your vehicle and help your child move to the driver side of your car.  After your child is loaded you may pull around the other parked cars and exit out onto Sonora street.  Students will not be allowed to go across the parking lot to get into parked cars so you will need to form a line rather than parking in the lot.  Please check the map in your child’s book bag to get a visual picture of the procedure. A map showing the pickup procedure can also be seen under the link for school documents on the right side of this page.The safety of our students is our primary concern.  Please be careful and patient as we work through this new procedure.  Please inform anyone who will be picking up your child of the new plan.

On February 4th, the students were treated to a story teller and puppet show. Natalie Roe, Mrs. Dalke's mother, came from New Mexico with a few of her puppet friends. She told funny stories and fables with some help from her puppets. One story was in Spanish and was similar to the "Itsy Bitsy Spider," except it was about a "Grande Spider." The kids enjoyed trying to figure out what the Spanish words were in English. The students enjoyed the fun stories, all the funny voices from Mrs. Roe and the puppets, and also learned some Spanish!

Family Science Night was a huge success, it was very well attended from families with students of various ages.   The stations ranged from making fun shadow shapes to building an edible rock structure. We had leaping frogs even a taste testing area...some things were tasty and some not!!

We hope everyone had a fun time and tried all of the fun and even tasty stations. More photos of Family Science Night can be viewed on the Prinicpal's page under Mrs. Bahr's Photos.

Catholic School's Week ended with a successful Grandparent's Day.  The morning started with students and Grandparents attending Mass together.  At Mass the children's choir sang and the students were involved in helping with the parts of the liturgy.   Everyone then moved into the gym for a delicious lunch prepared and served by the St. Joseph School Parents. The menu included chicken cordon bleu, corn pudding, baked potato, green beans, tossed salad and hot rolls.  Cream puffs and ice cream were served for dessert.  The gym was festively decorated in a heart theme with balloons and stain glass table decorations made by the students.  About three hundred people were served.  After lunch, the students treated their grandparents to a program of singing and dancing.
