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.
11/8/21 – Chicken Patty Sandwich, French Fries, fruit choice and milk.
11/9/21 – Turkey Lunchable, Carrot Stick, fruit choice and milk

This letter is to inform you that your child’s school has partnered with The Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Michigan to offer child abuse prevention education to their students. This program meets the requirements outlined in Erin's Law (signed into law January 2013; www.erinslaw.org) for Michigan students. The research based curriculum we facilitate in the classroom is called Play it Safe!. You can find more information and previews of the lessons at www.PlayitSafe.org. These age-appropriate lessons are facilitated in your child’s classroom with their regular teaching staff present. While the topics vary with age, each elementary level lesson will teach children general concepts like:
Identifying the safe adults in a child’s life they can go to if they need help
Recognizing 3 different kinds of touches: Safe, Unsafe, and Confusing
Using the 3 part safety rule: Say no, Get away, Tell a trusted adult
It’s never too late to tell, and child abuse is never the child’s fault
All lessons are presented in a non-threatening way and vary for each grade level. This ensures the information is age and developmentally appropriate. All lessons include the use of a short video and class lecture/discussion.
These lessons are designed to build off each other year after year and reinforce these messages over time. Our hope is that by providing our children with information of how to avoid sexual and physical abuse, report it if it has occurred, or help a friend in need, we can proactively reduce child abuse in our community.
We encourage you to talk openly with your children and if you would like additional resources, please visit our website or call our office. We also offer Child Sexual Abuse Prevention trainings for adults and we would be happy to inform you when these occur.
If you have any concerns about the upcoming lesson your child will participate in, you may contact the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Michigan to ask questions.
Thank you,
Allie Kibler-Campbell
Child Abuse Prevention and Outreach Specialist
