radiating from all that had come to ensure this day was a success. The donations obtained on St. Joseph’s Day made a significant impact on the SJA Fund. In part, the monies raised helped with Summer renovation projects around campus such as updating air conditioning units, repairing the roof in two wings of the campus, beautification of our grounds, and purchasing equipment. In addition, we were able to provide many families with tuition assistance. True to our mission we want to ensure that every student receives the opportunity for a Marist education and in providing tuition assistance, we are able to achieve this goal. Saint Joseph Academy is able to lay the groundwork for future student achievement. Our success is due largely in part to the support from those who believe in our school’s community and mission. We could not do any of this alone. Every dollar raised gets us that much closer to our overall goal each year and is greatly appreciated. The Saint Joseph Academy family expands far and is always at its best when we rally together. Collectively, we can make a difference for not only the benefit of the school but for all our students. This was made quite evident, because we were able to raise more than $85,000 on Saint Josephs Day this past year. At Saint Joseph Academy, we pride ourselves in making sure our first priority is being able to give students the tools they need to learn, grow, and become successful community leaders and St. Joseph’s Day is one more way for us to continue doing that. As they say “It takes a village!” 11
