Principals’ Peek at the Week

What an incredible week we’ve had! Catholic Schools Week 2025 has been a success so far, filled with joy, faith, and community spirit. From the vibrant classroom activities to the uplifting Mass and Open House, each day was a reminder of the strong values and rich traditions that make our SJJ school community truly special.

Throughout the week, we celebrated everything that makes Catholic education unique: academic excellence and the opportunity to grow in faith. Students, teachers, staff, and families came together to make this week memorable, showcasing the power of faith, service, and community in action.

Be sure to check out the highlights in pictures below!

More events take place tomorrow, as we dress up in our Sunday Best for “Formal Friday” to attend Mass, and we recognize our students in grades 4-8 for their outstanding achievements. It’s also National Hot Chocolate Day (donations to benefit Berea Animal Rescue), and students will make cards for local nursing home residents.

This year’s Penny Wars was an absolute resounding success! Because the competition was so fierce and the final totals so close, our staff is taking a little more time to carefully tally all the results and determine the winner. We appreciate your patience and will announce the winning team soon! Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion!

Catholic Schools Week is always a time to celebrate our mission and look ahead to the bright future of our students. We are grateful for your continued support, and we look forward to the many blessings to come as we grow together in faith.

Thank you to everyone who made this week such a success!

In Christ,

Mrs. Schenek and Mrs. Francis
