So… I got to spend my morning in the church with 2nd graders! We are preparing for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist - I don’t have the words to describe how inspiring it is to see how excited they are to be receiving these sacraments! Pretty awesome stuff! It definitely gives priority and focus for worn-out teachers at the end of April - a great reminder of why we choose to teach at SJS!
Last week we celebrated our risen Christ! This Easter season has so much to offer… so many times we think that the self-growth is over after Lent and Easter Sunday, We forget that we now have the Easter season for 50 days until Pentecost. Create a group study, find a reflection for independent study or find a book club that focuses on the Easter season this year.
Monday, our 7th graders traveled to the Bob Bullock Museum in Austin and our 3rd graders facilitated an arts & crafts project with residents at Steven’s Nursing Home.
TONIGHT (Wednesday) is our SJS PTC Baked Potato Dinner and Bake Sale!!! If you purchased tickets, plate pick-up is at St. Joseph Family Center! Thank you for your contribution and commitment to SJS.
Thursday, 8th grade students will be traveling to Victoria for the annual, prestigious Diocese of Victoria Bishop’s Award Night. We are so proud of all of our students who have worked hard and earned this award! Congratulations to all of you!
As a reminder, YHS physicals for 8th grade girls with be at the new Yoakum Jr. High Gym at 5:00, Monday, May 1. And plan ahead to attend our annual May Crowning Mass celebration on Wednesday, May 3.
God’s Blessings on a great week for all of our readers!
