Pre-K 4: Happy Catholic Schools Week! This week, our class learned about the letter S (space). We made Groundhogs with paper, lovely Angels with our 8th grade buddies, had an ice cream treat, made planet Earth using markers/coffee filter and practiced writing our letters on lined paper. Our pajama party at Barnes/Nobles was lots of fun. Last, we had a spaghetti party and made the moon using Plaster of Paris. Have a wonderful weekend!

Kindergarten - What a wonderful Catholic Schools Week we had! The children made hearts with hands for parishioners with the First Grade and book marks with their Fourth Grade buddies. Many thanks to the HSA for the delicious ice cream sundaes and the cocoa and cookies! Barnes and Noble nights were great fun too! The class showed off their "smarts" in the College of Knowledge. Everyone was excited to learn about Phil's prediction as they learned about groundhogs, made puppets, and listened to groundhog stories. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Grade 1 has really enjoyed Catholic School's Week. We made hearts with a special message with the Kindergarten. These will be sent to our local hospitals and nursing homes to bring a little love from St. Joseph's to the community. We also had a great time working with our fifth grade buddy's. We made a special Valentine craft and enjoyed hot cocoa and cookies together. Thank you to the HSA for the yummy ice cream and the marketing committee for all of the wonderful events this week. We also had a great time at the College of Knowledge. Have a wonderful weekend!!

Grade 2 Happy Birthday to Alexa Peck on February 12! Thank you to all who helped us celebrate Catholic Schools Week especially our H.S.A. and Mrs. Castaldo! We appreciate the wooden crosses donated by the Dowley family. Also, we are thankful for Miss Merker and our Sixth Grade buddies. We will cherish our friendship charms.
Wow! We are a magnificent Catholic school community! Hurray for us all and praise to our Divine Teacher, Christ!

Grade 3 had a MAGNIFICENT Catholic Schools Week!  We enjoyed our visits to Barnes and Noble for a fun night with our St. Joseph School family.  We got together with our 7th grade buddies and competed to build the strongest bridge out of spaghetti and marshmellows.  That was a blast!  Thank you Mr. Pezzo and 7th grade!  In our classroom, we have been focusing on neat handwriting and reviewing out basic facts.  We learned a bit about Punxsutawney Phil this week, too!  Have a great weekend!

Grade 4: Catholic School's week was a wonderful time for our class to reflect on our mission to live as Jesus taught us. There was a great deal of school participation by many parents, students, faculty, and staff. Our class enjoyed many events thank you to all who helped! In math we have started a unit on geometry! In religion we are learning how to live the second commandment.
