🌍👏 Shoutout to our 7th graders, Emma and Josephine! 👏🌍

They did an amazing job creating and presenting their landform diorama—from the details to the creativity, their hard work truly showed. What a great example of hard work, effort, and learning in action. We are so proud of you both! 💙📚

🎒✨ School Resumes Tomorrow! ✨🎒 Just a friendly reminder that school will resume tomorrow, January 5. We are so excited to welcome our students back and see all those smiling faces! 💙📚 See you in the morning!

Merry Christmas!

🎄📣 Santa Shop Update! 🎄📣 We originally planned to keep our Santa Shop open through Friday, but due to scheduling conflicts, Thursday will now be our final day — and the shop will only be open in the morning. If your child still needs to shop for family and friends, please make sure they visit Thursday morning before it closes. 🎁✨ We truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility. It has been such a joy watching students thoughtfully pick out gifts for those they love! ❤️🎅

All aboard! 🚂✨ Saint Joseph’s train is officially rolling down Merry on Main in Paris, and it’s bringing all the Christmas cheer with it! Come see the lights, the smiles, and the magic of the season as our school helps make Main Street merry and bright. 🎄❤️ Stop by, snap a photo, and share the joy! #SaintJosephSchool #MerryMainParis

Yesterday, our 1st and 2nd graders had the best day at the Pine Grove Christmas Tree Farm! 🎄✨

From playing with the animals at the petting zoo, to exploring the farm and enjoying the beautiful outdoors, their excitement was contagious. They had a picnic, enjoyed hot chocolate, made sweet memories, and definitely kicked off the Christmas season in the cutest way.

Thank you to our chaperones and the tree farm staff for making this such a fun and educational trip for our students!

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO JEREMY TAYLOR

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Jeremy Taylor for generously volunteering his time and talent to build this year’s St. Joseph School Christmas Parade float. His hard work, creativity, and attention to detail have helped bring the spirit of Christmas to life for our students and school community.

Thank you, Jeremy, for your dedication and for helping make this tradition so special for our kids!

Parade Update! The Christmas parade has been moved up to this Friday. Students are welcome to ride on the float. PreK–K students must be accompanied by a parent. Please meet at the Cloyes Gear parking lot (west of Pizza Barn) between 5:00–5:15 PM. Be sure to send candy with your child to throw during the parade. The parade begins at 6:00 PM, and we will return to the St. Joseph School parking lot afterward. All families are invited to stay for a meal in the cafeteria following the parade.

Friday was a fun and joy-filled day at Saint Joseph School! ✨ We began our morning at Mass, spent time working hard in the classroom, and even took a trip to the square to decorate our Christmas tree—our ornaments this year are absolutely adorable! 🎄✨ To top off an already wonderful day, we celebrated our pie sale… and the highlight? Our top sellers earned the chance to throw a pie in Principal Shirley Kiefer’s face! 🥧😂 What a memorable way to end the day! We are grateful for our students, families, and all the joy this season brings. 💜✨

Congratulations to our Pre-K class for being the top selling class in our pie fundraiser! 🥧🎉 They worked hard, and their efforts paid off—they’ve earned a special ice cream party to celebrate! 🍦😄 We’re so proud of all our students for their enthusiasm and support. Enjoy a few more photos from our pie sale celebration! 📸💜

🛠️ Building Birdhouses in Math Class with Ms Elder and Deacon Tom. Our students had an exciting hands-on lesson this past week as they built their very own birdhouses during math class! Measuring, planning, and problem-solving came to life in such a fun and creative way. A special thank you to Deacon Tom for all of his hard work, guidance, and extra help throughout the project. We are so grateful for the time and care he pours into our students. Great job, everyone! 🐦✨

✨🎨 Celebrating Our Young Artists! 🎨✨ So proud of these amazing 7th and 8th graders at St. Joseph Catholic School! Their hard work, creativity, and attention to detail truly shine in these incredible art pieces now on display. Each drawing shows dedication, imagination, and the talent they bring to our art classroom every week. Keep creating, keep exploring, and keep sharing your gifts with the world. We are so blessed to have such wonderful students! 💜🐾✏️
