Dear Parents With a few weeks of summer left to enjoy, we look ahead with excitement to the 2021-2022 school year. The SJHA Family Association is a volunteer organization that has been an integral part of St. Joseph Hill Academy Elementary School for many years. We organize activities and events throughout the school year that promote camaraderie and school spirit for our children and their parents. We have attached the SJHA Family Association Calendar of Events, please review and save the dates. Some of these events are sponsored by our principal Mr. Hansen, while others have fundraising components. All fundraising assists us in accomplishing many of the capital improvements in our school that help to keep tuition increases to a minimum. Also attached is the 2021-2022 Class Representative list for each grade. Once the school year begins your class representative will communicate important school information and volunteer opportunities on behalf of the event chair to you throughout the year, we hope you will join in the planning fun. With your participation and support our efforts have beautiful results. We highlight just a few of the recent capital improvements resulting from last year’s events that will surely benefit every student. ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
- Library Commons - New Bookstore - Painting of Classrooms - New Furniture for grades 1-4 - New Smartboards - New Cafeteria tables/stools - New lighting in Golden door lobby and 4th floor
Along with our principal, Mr. Hansen, we anticipate you will enjoy the many event offerings this year and we look forward to saying hello to returning families and welcoming new at the annual Meet the Teacher Night and General Meeting on September 13th. The Executive Council members are always available for you, so please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. Wishing you all a successful new school year! With much appreciation The SJHA Executive Council Silvana, Nicole, Jennifer and Selena

As you can see we now have the addition of a Rose Ceremony event for our 8th grade students. The rose ceremony was traditionally a small portion of our Fashion Show. As per administration's request, the rose ceremony will no longer be a part of the fashion show, which will now be an adults only event. The new Rose Ceremony event will be an evening dedicated solely to our 8th grade students and their families. More information will follow from administration.
