Dear Grandparents and Grandfriends,
We hope this message finds you still smiling from our joyful Grandparents and Grandfriends Day! Your presence lit up our school, and we are deeply grateful you could join us. Whether it was your warm hugs, proud smiles, or loving encouragement, you reminded all of us—students and staff alike—of the incredible gift it is to be part of a multigenerational school community.
This year, Saint Joseph School is celebrating 70 years of excellence, and we’re proud to have recently been named a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School. These milestones reflect the strength of our mission and the unwavering support of families like yours. Our theme for the year — Together We Shine — could not be more fitting. It captures the spirit of faith, partnership, and purpose that makes Saint Joe’s a place where students grow into the compassionate, curious, and virtuous leaders the world needs.
As a grandparent or grandfriend, you play a special role in this journey. Your stories, prayers, and presence are a source of strength and inspiration for our students. Today, we invite you to continue that legacy by supporting our Grandparents’ Lend-A-Hand Campaign.
Your gift—no matter the amount—helps ensure we can keep shining together. It supports everything from classroom resources to student support services, and helps sustain the joyful, faith-filled learning environment that makes Saint Joseph School so special.
Thank you for being part of our story. Thank you for believing in the power of Catholic education. And thank you for helping us celebrate 70 shining years—and all the bright tomorrows ahead.
God Bless,
Fr. Bryan Parrish Mrs. Kristen Fiumara
Pastor of St. Joseph School Head of School
