Co-Ed Volleyball, Confirmation, etc.
OK PEOPLE! If you think there were a lot of emails last fall, just wait till these last 8 weeks. Yes EIGHT WEEKS! That is all that is left before your child spends their last school day at St. Joe's. We will try to keep the correspondence down to only the most important details, but that means it is even more important that you check your emails so you can be in the know.
- Co-Ed Volleyball starts this Friday. The 7th and 8th grade boys and girls will be playing volleyball the nights of April 4th, 18th and 25th. The exact times of the games should be ready Thursday and games will be played at 7pm and 8pm each night in the school gym. There is no fee for this, but they will have to turn in their permission slip in order to play. Hopefully all who are interested in participating have turned in their slips by today (Wednesday). If not please email Kelly Aguayo at aguayodg@sbcglobal.net and we will figure something out.
- Confirmation practice is Monday, April 7th at 7pm in the church. If possible the sponsor should attend with the Confirmandi.
- Half Day for your Confirmandi! Mrs. Stasi has offered to dismiss the 8th grade students at Noon on April 11th to give them time to prepare for the big night and visit with family and friends who may be joining you for this Blessed event.
- Confirmation is Friday, April 11th at 7:30pm. Confirmandi and sponsors should be at the church by 7pm.
- Wednesday, April 23rd meeting with parents and 8th grade students at 7:15pm in the School Hall. This meeting will serve multiple purposes.
1. If you have finished your Memory Boards by this night, please feel free to bring them along. This will save you a drop off at a later date.
2. Post Confirmation Meeting with Marta Spiezio
3. Informational meeting about the remainder of events to round out your childs final month at St. Joe's.
If you have any questions about anything in this email or any future correspondence, simply respond to this email and we'll get back to you ASAP.
Happy Spring!
