SJF IN THE NEWS!

SJF TROPHY CASE
Thank you to Katarina Nesslein for re-arranging and cleaning the trophy case in the main school entrance. She dusted everything in the case, and the case itself, and then added in all the trophies won by our athletes this school year. Thanks again!
CYO TRACK & FIELD VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
SJF Track & Field needs parent volunteers to help at the meets.
Each school is asked to provide volunteers for each meet. These meets cannot happen without volunteers. Please look at the attached chart and email JB Gibbs ([email protected]) if you are able to help in any of those time slots. Hours worked at the meet count as volunteer hours for SJF and you do not need to have an athlete involved in track in order to volunteer.
Thank you in advance- Go Cardinals!
