Seniors and Parents - Congratulations!!! This is the last week for seniors. They will be expected to finish everything up here with their classes this week, however if they are not passing a class or need to finish something that has not yet been completed, they may be asked to return next week for classes by their teachers. Seniors will receive senior sign-out sheets on Wed. this week and will be getting signatures from all required staff in order to be checked out Fri.
Also, please take a moment and discuss the importance of great choices and decisions over the next couple of weeks leading up to senior events and graduation with your Senior! Thanks for your continued support parents!
We will be communicating with senior parents and seniors over the next couple of weeks regularly with our automated message system to make sure we have everything in order. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at the high school.
Best.

On Friday, May 17, the Interact Club of St. Joseph High School celebrated its last Membership Meeting of the school year. Members learned about International needs, provided global and community service, gained leadership skills, met career mentors and had fun building lasting bonds. Club highlights included a trip to the Dominican Republic building a home and bringing Medical care to Haitians, coordinating the Annual Career Night featuring over 70 area professionals, working at the Benton Harbor Soup Kitchen and leading a food drive for the Yeager Family Pet Shelter Humane Society. To improve Club Communications, the ClubView App was built. It was a Stupendous year!

Financial Reality Fair at SJHS:
Thank you very much for your partnership with the Financial Reality Fair today. Attached are some photos from the event. We had a great time working with the students. I hope they enjoyed making lifestyle choices and seeing how it impacted their finances, as they worked through their personal budget. I enjoyed talking with the students ahead of time about financial topics leading up to the Reality Fair, and would definitely like to partner with St. Joseph Schools to host another one next school year.

Sports 44 - Sports Equipment
Any student who needs financial assistance with sporting equipment or clothing, please consider shopping at Sports 44. There is a Mike Wagner Memorial account set up, intended to cover the cost of whatever is needed (my husband was a huge sports fan and this would make him happy). Please ask for Chris, the owner, and he will make sure you are taken care of. And special thanks to many people who have donated items to the store in care of the memorial.
We are a quality, used sporting goods and athletic wear store. We take gently used sporting goods and athletic wear on consignment.
