PRINCIPAL FOR THE
DAY
On Friday, May 21, the
“reins” of St. Joseph School were handed over to Audrey M., Principal
for the Day at the Issaquah Campus. Audrey discharged her duties
exceptionally, granting extra recess, calling a 50's free dress day,
cancelled math for an art project, announced prayer and the pledge to
name just a few of her directives. She was escorted to her lunch
restaurant choice, Triple XXX, with Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Waldo. She
visited all of the Issaquah classrooms, with her school badge and
whistle, and enjoyed the opportunity to visit and take suggestions
for the day! Watch for pictures of this big day in the upcoming
yearbook. Well done Audrey.
Art and
Science Fair
Our St. Joseph Art and
Science Fair was held on Thursday evening, May 20th at our Snoqualmie
Campus. The students worked very hard on their projects and were well
prepared for the presentations that they gave to our parents and judges
that evening. Mrs. Skip decorated our halls with incredible examples of
student artwork and was able to spend time with students and parents as
well. Overall, the Art and Science Fair was fun and a great success.
Thank you everyone who helped with this terrific event.
And the winners for the
Science Fair
are...... 4th Graders - Allie M. and Robin C., and 5th Grader - Sean
S. Great job!

Adult Enrichment: Romero
Join
us on Monday, June 7th at 7:00 PM in McGirl Hall for
a showing of the movie Romero. As the Archbishop of
San Salvador during El Salvador’s brutal civil war,
Romero became the “bishop of the poor.” Calling for
international intervention to protect those being
killed by government forces, Romero was assassinated
on March 24, 1980. Archbishop Romero still
challenges us to restructure our world, “in which
growing disparity in wealth, increasing human misery
and social violence, and ecological devastation
exist as a result of human sin.” Don’t miss the
opportunity to view this important movie. All are
welcome!
Parish Food Drive -
Ongoing
Are
you going to eat that? The soup you don’t have room
for. The vegetables that were on sale. The cereal
your baby doesn’t like. If it’s good food—unopened
and unexpired—the Issaquah Food Bank really needs
it. St. Joseph makes it even easier for you to
participate! A parish volunteer delivers donations
once a week from St. Joseph to the Issaquah Food
Bank. Just bring your food donations to the church
and drop them off in the boxes downstairs next to
the elevator.
The Parish Office will be closed on Monday, May 31st
in observance of Memorial Day.
