Dear Parents/ Queridos Padres,

It is with the greatest of sadness that we share the news that our beloved Ms. Doris Agostini passed away on Saturday, December 3rd. Doris worked at St. Joseph for over 20 years and touched the lives of many.

We will be celebrating Ms. Doris’ life at a funeral mass at St. Joseph Catholic Church on Monday, December 12, at 10:00am.  Because the faculty, staff, and St. Joseph families would like to attend, we are expecting a large turnout for the mass. In order to accommodate, we will need to close school on December 12, 2022. We will make up the date on March 20, 2023. 

You are all invited to come to the funeral mass. Please share this news with anyone that would like to come.

Please pray for Ms. Doris and her family, she was a very special woman of faith. God rest her soul.

Con la mayor de las tristezas que compartimos la noticia que nuestra querida Sra. Doris Agostini falleció el sábado 3 de diciembre. Doris trabajó en St. Joseph durante más de 20 años y tocó la vida de muchos.

Celebraremos la vida de la Sra. Doris en una misa fúnebre en la Iglesia Católica St. Joseph el lunes 12 de diciembre a las 10:00 am. Debido a que a la facultad, el personal y las familias de St. Joseph les gustaría asistir, esperamos una gran asistencia a la misa. Para acomodar, tendremos que cerrar la escuela el 12 de diciembre de 2022. Recuperaremos la fecha el 20 de marzo de 2023.

Están todos invitados a venir a la misa del funeral. Por favor, comparte esta noticia con quien quiera venir.

Por favor oren por la Sra. Doris y su familia, ella fue una mujer de fe muy especial. Descanse su alma en paz.

Dear Parents/ Estimados padres,

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the year! We are working on our Christmas show, "Christmas Around the World," which we will present on Tuesday, December 20, 2022 at 6:30pm in the Church.

Here is a list of what the students need as far as costuming:

• Kindergarteners need to wear shorts, t-shirts and white socks. We will provide their costumes.
• 1^st graders should wear a white t-shirt and khaki shorts (school shorts work), and tennis shoes.
• 2^nd graders should wear a white shirt and black pants, or skirt. School shoes, or black shoes, are fine.
• 3^rd graders  A white t-shirt and khaki shorts, or skirt (school shorts). School shoes will be fine.
• 4^th graders Red, or white shirt with black pants, shorts, or skirt. School shoes are fine.
• 5^th graders: Christmas Attire (Christmas shirt, sweater, dress, etc).

If you do not have a red shirt, or black pants, please do not think you must spend a lot of money on these items. A borrowed shirt or thrift shop shirt will be fine (Salvation Army sells clothes at half price on Wednesdays).  

We are providing most costume accessories.

Yes, they may wear the costume pieces listed above to the school that night.

Students should report to classrooms by 6:00pm to get ready for the show.

If your family is out of town that week, please send an email to the teacher or to me to let us know.

¡Es la época más maravillosa del año! Estamos trabajando en nuestro programa navideño: Christmas Around the World, que presentaremos el martes 20 de diciembre de 2022 a las 6:30 pm en la Iglesia.

Aquí hay una lista de lo que los estudiantes necesitan en cuanto a vestuario:

• Los niños de kindergarten deben usar pantalones cortos, camisetas y calcetines blancos. Proporcionaremos sus disfraces.
• Los estudiantes de 1er grado deben usar una camiseta blanca y pantalones cortos de color caqui (los pantalones cortos de la escuela funcionan) y zapatos tenis.

Si no tiene una camisa roja o pantalones negros, no crea que debe gastar mucho dinero en estos artículos. Una camisa prestada o una camisa de una tienda de segunda mano estará bien (el Ejército de Salvación vende ropa a mitad de precio los miércoles).

Estamos proporcionando la mayoría de los accesorios de vestuario.

Sí, pueden usar las piezas de vestuario mencionadas anteriormente en la escuela esa noche.

Los estudiantes deben presentarse en las aulas a las 6:00 pm para prepararse para el espectáculo.

Si su familia está fuera de la ciudad esa semana, envíe un correo electrónico al maestro o a mí para informarnos.

Sincerely/Sinceramente,

Lori Foley
