Classroom Parties

We are looking forward to our first classroom celebration of the 2021-22 school year this week! Here are a few things we want to be sure to share with you:

• Costumes can be worn all day (no gore or weapons). We ask that anything that may be distracting to the school environment be saved for home celebrations.
• Students must wear masks along with their costume (not costume masks alone).
• All party volunteers MUST have current background check on file - please be sure you have completed the paperwork found here.
• We will have a costume parade outside @ 3:15 p.m. All families are welcome to come & take pictures - no background check is needed for the parade session only.

Our SJPS staff, as well as many community members, had the privilege of learning with Dr. Adolf Brown last Monday. This inspirational educator reminded us of the importance of sharing love, light, and insight each and everyday in our work alongside our students and their families. Click here to learn more about Dr. Brown and his mission to bring people together to learn, laugh and lead.

SJHS Veterans Breakfast RSVP 2021

You are invited to the 2021 St. Joseph High School Veterans Breakfast on Wednesday, November 10th beginning at 9am. The event will be held in the student center at the high school. The SJHS Student Senate members will prepare and serve a delicious breakfast. Following the breakfast, we will be entertained by speakers and performers as we take time to thank our Veterans for their service. Please plan to park in the Lakeview Ave. parking lot. Students will meet you in the parking lot and guide you to the event. Masks must be worn in the building unless you are seated and eating. If you have any questions, you can reach out to student senate advisor, Amanda Wallace, at 269-926-3367 or awallace@sjschools.org.

News from the Lunch Room

We would like to remind everyone that breakfast and lunch are FREE again this year to every St Joseph Public School student.   Please try to remember to preorder your student’s lunches when they are going to participate in lunch.  This helps speed up the morning lunch count process.  You will be allowed to order the Friday before the next week using www.sendmoneytoschool.com.  

Due to the supply chain issues we are having with our vendors and food outages we will be providing a one week menu on our website and Principal blogs on the Friday before the next week.   This will alleviate us having to make constant changes to a monthly menu and keep you better informed.

10/25/21 – Chicken Nuggets, Muffin, Broccoli, fruit choice and milk

10/26/21 – Hot Dog, Baked Beans, Baked Snack, fruit choice and milk

10/27/21 – Ham & Cheese Sandwich, Yogurt, French Fries, fruit choice and milk

10/28/21 – Rotini Pasta, Marinara Sauce, Bosco Stick, Salad Cup, Fruit Choice and Milk

10/29/21 – Cheese Pizza Crunchers, Dipping Sauce, Corn, Fruit Choice and milk

Bottled Water Collection

We are collecting donations of bottled water for our Lincoln School families residing in Benton Harbor. If you are interested in supporting our community members, please drop off your donations in the Lincoln School main office vestibule during school hours. Thank you.
