The PTO President's Message

The main purpose of the St. Joseph's School PTO is to raise funds to help the teachers and school wherever needed.

Last year, with the support of our parents and staff, the PTO raised more than $7,500.00! Our fundraisers included World's Finest Chocolate Sale, Santa's Secret Shop and our annual garage sale.

With the money raised we were able to give each teacher $100.00 for their classroom needs, help offset some of the cost of the Christmas Parade float, sponsor Grandparents Day and the Teacher Appreciation Luncheon. We provide the monetary gift for the Monsignor Powers Award that is given to a graduating 8th grader.

Each family is a member of the PTO because your fee of $10.00 was included in your registration fee. Each family gets a school directory that lists the contact information for each family. Additional directories can be purchased for $5.00 in case you have a preteen that wants their own! The money raised from PTO dues is used to offset the cost of the directories. The balance is used with other funds raised for the schools needs.

Any parent wishing to serve on the PTO Board is welcome! You may contact the school office or me for any additional information.

The PTO Board is looking forward to another great year at St. Joseph's Academy!
