2021 SJS Art Show

Mrs. Rafferty and Ms. Boutot have put together a Virtual Art Show for families to watch from the comfort of their homes.  We are grateful to our teachers for taking the time to showcase many of the amazing works of art our students have completed this year.  We anticipate next Spring we will be back to hosting an in-person Art Show as we have always done in years past.

Today our students prayed the Rosary and watched a short video of our 2nd grade students participating in the Crowning of Mary. https://youtu.be/KP80O4dRKpE

Please join our awesome volunteer HSA board this evening – Tuesday, May 11th – at 7pm for the last meeting of the 2020-2021 school year.  All are welcome and encouraged to join in.  The HSA is looking for some new, fresh, and exciting ideas to begin planning for the upcoming year and would love your input!  We are really in need of some fun and lucrative fundraising ideas to help make up for not being able to have our annual GALA fundraiser during the past two years.  Please come share your ideas!
