Welcome Back Students

Dear Saint Joseph Families,

We had a wonderful first day here at St. Joseph Catholic School! It was a joy to welcome our students back to campus and see their smiling faces. I was able to visit every classroom and it was inspiring to see our students engaged in learning, reconnecting with friends, and settling into their new routines.

I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to our faculty and staff for their tremendous hard work and dedication in preparing for the start of the school year. From getting classrooms ready to ensuring a smooth and welcoming first day, their commitment to our students and families was evident throughout the campus. We are blessed to have such a caring and talented team serving our school community.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to all the opportunities our students will have to learn, grow, serve, lead, and succeed.

May God bless you and your family.

Blessings,

Mr. Matthew Chandler

Principal

Dear Lord, 

As our students begin a new school year, I pray that you will keep them in your care. Send your Spirit to open their minds to all that is true and beautiful and good. 

Help them to see the gifts and talents you have given them and to use them well. Help them to grow in knowledge and wisdom. Help them to be kind to others and lead others to be kind to them. 

Give their teachers patience and understanding and help them teach what is just and true. Send your angels to guide and guard our children and to keep them from all harm. Open their young hearts to your presence and enfold them in your peace and protection. 

Hold them in the palm of your hand and bring them home safely at day's end. 

Amen.
