From the Development Office

Our goal this fiscal year (July 2022 – June 2023) is to engage the financial support of 100% of our school families, faculty, and staff in giving to the Annual Fund. As of March, an impressive 43% of our school families have contributed. Congratulations to the 6th grade, which is leading with a grade level participation of 54%! We will continue to track these participation numbers through the Spring.

Helping families afford a St. Joseph’s education is a foundational principle to our identity as a Catholic school. The Annual Fund fulfills this responsibility by providing approximately 6% of the school’s overall budget. It accounts for 75% of the funding that is not covered by tuition. These dollars are raised every year through the generosity of our community. Our Annual Fund goal for this year, which includes proceeds from the Gala, is $550,000. The Annual Fund total through March was $371,000! Please contact Kevin Meyer with any questions. Download your Annual Fund Donation Form today or make an online donation!

Advertise in our Fine Arts Programs

Attention business owners! Want to reach a larger audience? The Jubilate Arts Guild Sponsorship program is a great value. We are offering our corporate sponsors a chance for promotion with advertising in the printed programs of our six main Fine Arts events over the course of the school year. The size of the ad depends on the level of sponsorship. In addition to an ad in our programs, our sponsors will get further promotion through social media, the Fine Arts’ website, and special signage in the lobby of our events.

Jubilate Arts Guild Board Openings for 2023-2024

Have you been wondering what the Jubilate Arts Guild is? Have you been wondering how you can get involved in an organization that impacts all the students here at SJCS? JAG is the place for you! We are the Fine Arts booster club and we have a position for you, no matter how much or how little time you have to invest. We meet once a month, before school for those with busy work schedules. All middle school students partake of the fine arts programs and the majority of our high school students participate in band, strings, chorus, dance, theater, and/or visual arts. If you would like to join a fun group of parents who support the Fine Arts here at SJCS, JAG is where you need to be! Contact Cindy Davis for more information.

Thank you from the Fine Arts Department!

• Thank you to all who have supported the Jubilate Arts Guild and Fine Arts programs this year. Your support enables the Guild to assist our students and faculty in their creative efforts in music, art, theatre, and dance and in doing so, reflect God’s beauty and goodness. Our school year began with the summer production of All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten and drew to a close with our successful spring concerts and Improvisation Knight! As our Fine Arts programming has grown and our students have enjoyed classroom instruction throughout middle school and into high school, it is a joy to see the progress of our talented students throughout the school year.

• A sincere thanks to the following talented and enthusiastic parents who served on the Jubilate Arts Guild this year, supporting the SJCS Fine Arts: Christine Balts, Sue Bannio, Erin Brasington, Brandon Cabaniss, Cindy Davis, Nikki Hamby, Meg Lanza, Katie Orbon, Kelly Quesnelle, and Melanie Wills.

• Lastly, if you’ve thought of becoming more involved but were uncertain of possible roles, responsibilities, and commitments, now is the time to ask questions. We would love to know how your gifts of talent, ideas, enthusiasm, and time might benefit the arts programs by helping you to find a role that best meets your schedule and
