St. Joseph School requires all school families to commit to a minimum of 45 volunteer hours between July 1 and May 15 by volunteering for school and/or parish activities. Any hours not completed by May 15 will be billed to you at $30 per hour. A minimum of 5 hours of the 45 hours total must be related to fundraising for the Annual Auction.

The St. Joseph Auction is an annual all-school event held in cooperation with the St. Joseph parents and provides opportunities for involvement from a variety of businesses outside the St. Joseph Community. The proceeds of the Auction join with the Annual Fund to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a St. Joseph education. Parents are asked to volunteer, and to procure or contribute $150 worth of items for the Auction.

The Walk-A-Thon is a spring, student involved event. Students secure pledges and join together for an afternoon of walking, fun and prizes. Each family is expected to collect a minimum of $100 per family for this event.
