St. Joseph Football
Boosters – Give Back Night (Tonight)
If
you are looking for an excuse not to cook tonight. I have the
answer. Tonight is a give back night for the St. Joseph Football Boosters
at Silver Beach Pizza. No flyer needed, no need to mention St. Joseph
Football just enjoys Silver Beach Pizza and support the Bears. Dine in or
carry out.
St. Joseph Sailing Team:
The
St Joseph Sailing Team is having an informational meeting for students who wish
to participate in the 2018 sailing season. Parents welcomed and encouraged to

Where:
St Joseph High School Student Center.

middle and high school students are welcome to join and no experience is
necessary. If there are any questions, please contact Chris Marzke. chrismarzke@gmail.com or (269) 208-3635
Choirs at Festival:
(Congratulations!!)
Some
highlights:
7th
and 8th graders sight-read advanced, and were the only middle school choir to
do so in the whole region. Even though they were singing at a much higher level
they got perfect scores in each example for rhythm and pitch!
Concert
Choir received a perfect performance score. This has never happened to us! One
of the judges said that one of our songs was the best rendition she'd heard and
also wrote that our program is one of the best she's heard in the state. They
also sight read advanced for the first time and it was SO hard, but they really
wanted to do it and they pulled it off!
All
choirs composed themselves so well, were so respectful of other performers and
quiet in the hallways. I was especially proud of the 6th graders who have had
some rough moments this year being an enormous group with some big
personalities. They were so well behaved.
You
should be so proud of SJPS choir students, I know I am. Please congratulate
them if you see any of them. They deserve it!
