Dear Parents,
It was great to have a five day week of school this week and the students were excited to get to go outside to play.
Today, our students enjoyed an all school retreat. The theme was humility, acceptance, and peace. Be sure to ask your child about all the prayerful activities they did today.
Reenrollment
Only two more weeks! The enrollment period has begun and will conclude on February 25. All enrollment packets must be completed before the enrollment end date.
No School
Just a reminder. There will be no school on Friday, February 18 or Monday, February 21. Enjoy the long weekend.
Band Concert
Padua Elementary’s Beginner Band and Orchestra Concert “Informance” was Wednesday. This concert is called an “Inform-ance” because students not only participated in a performance on their instruments, but they also informed the audience about what they have learned during the first half of the year.
The concert featured students in grades 4-6 from St. Anthony of Padua, St. Columbkille School, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Albert the Great, St. Albert the Great at Assumption Academy, Sts. Joseph & John School, and Incarnate Word Academy. You can watch it here.

Ohio Catholic Federal Credit Union Scholarship
A $1,000 Student Scholarship Could Be Yours!
We’re delighted to announce that Sts. Joseph and John School is participating this school year in the Ohio Catholic Federal Credit Union Student Banking Program.
This program encourages students in grades K-8 to start saving, simply by opening their very own savings account. At Ohio Catholic FCU, that’s the Genesis Savings account. Students are rewarded for saving their money with a premium interest rate on deposits up to $5,000. Plus, one Genesis Savings account member from our school will be randomly selected to receive a $1,000 scholarship grant towards Catholic education tuition!
Once each month, a representative from Ohio Catholic FCU will visit our school to open accounts, collect deposits and share money lessons with students.
SO MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Our next visit from Ohio Catholic FCU will be on Wednesday, February 16th, from 7:15am – 7:45am.
The deadline for opening a Genesis Savings account to be eligible for the Student Scholarship is March 31, 2022.
To open your child’s Genesis Savings account, you will need to show your child’s social security card at account opening. You will also need to show your driver’s license. A minimum $10.00 deposit is required to open an account.
If you want more information, contact our school’s banking representative at Ohio Catholic FCU: You can also watch the attached video for a more informative presentation.
