Mass
Thank you to Mrs. Weaver’s class for their leadership with liturgy at Mass on Ash Wednesday. This week Fr. Jerry reminds us to the ashes as a way to reflect, and he challenges us to become closer to God as we journey through Lent. We thank all of you who joined us for Mass. We had a great turnout of parents at our Ash Wednesday Mass, thank you! Please know, all are welcome each week.
Please join us this Sunday, for the 10 am Mass hosted by Mrs. Howard’s and Mrs. Weaver’s classes. *Sunday is Daylight Savings Time.* The school choir will be providing music too.

Student Safety
Link to an article from a safety committee that St. Joseph’s is using information and concepts from to inform and guide the plans and procedures for St. Joseph’s Catholic School.
See something, say something. I would like to remind and urge everyone if you see something out of place, please report it to the Office as soon as possible. It is much better to be safe and say something than to worry about it.
