Senior All Night Party Fundraisers:
Senior All Night Party Information:
Parents - please use the following link to access the Senior All Night Party information. This is a well planned and organized event by some of our senior parents each year. It is a great way to send our seniors off after graduation and provide a structured, safe, and memorable event for our graduates.
I would love to see each and every senior attend this year. We usually have around 175 of our 250 or so graduates go each year. Cost is $100 before Apr. 17th. If you are able please consider sponsoring another student so we can raise enough funds to send every graduate on the trip!
Choir Festival:
SJ choirs all did very well at the MSVMA Choral Festival. All received very high scores and walked
away with ratings of 1!
Something we're especially proud of is our sight reading! St. Joe was the only school to even attempt
an advanced sight reading level in our MSVMA district. 7th grade, 8th grade, and Concert choir all
read at an advanced level and got very high scores. 6th grade and Chorale both read primary, and both
got perfect scores! So SJ kids are not only talented but very smart musicians!
