It is hard to believe, but we have come to the end of another school year. At St. Joseph, our mission is "to educate youth in an atmosphere where Christ is present and permeates the curriculum. In partnership with parents it seeks to teach the basics of Catholic faith __ its values, morals, and traditions"… We hope we have provided the "students with a strong, quality academic program that gives them the tools and resources necessary to be life-long learners and productive members of the Church and society."

(excerpt from Mission Statement of St. Joseph School)

As summer draws near, we would like to offer some suggestions for continued practice on a variety of topics.

• Send a card or letter to a friend, relative or famous person
• Compare and contrast prices at the store
• Cook a summer treat using a favorite recipe
• Read street signs and maps when traveling
• Using speed and miles to go, determine what time you’ll arrive
• Write clues for a treasure hunt
• Help plant a garden
• Help a neighbor with yard chores
• Play category games (think of famous people, places food, etc. that begins with each letter of the alphabet)
• Be sure to read for fun during the summer.

Have a safe and wonderful summer vacation!
