In order for our students to have a chance for higher academic achievement, we need to continue to support them by building strong literacy environments to develop a culture of
readers in our students. The funds were used for book bags for students participating in RDCRS READS. Students who took books from the school library received a bag and brought them back in September. Over 5400 students and over 16,000 books were given out.
The data is telling us that we are doing well. Students and parent want the program!

Testimonial
“We at St. Joseph High School were blessed to receive funding from the Catholic Education Foundation to purchase various items for our chapel. We now have all that is necessary to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for small groups as well as our whole school division. Our first Mass was the division opening Mass on August 30, 2017. We have celebrated Mass on the third Thursday of every month with Fr. Tom. On October 28 we hosted the Archdiocesan Youth Rally where we began with Mass in the morning and continued with adoration throughout the rest of the day. Our chapel was the focal point of the day. It is with immense gratitude that we thank the Catholic Education Foundation for their generous contribution to our school.”
