St. Joseph eUpdate
Hearts Aflame For the Love of Christ
We've had a busy week, and accomplished a lot together!!! So proud of our community and the commitment we have for excellence in all we do. Remember to be gentle with yourselves and each other over the next few weeks, this is new territory, and we are going to go slow.
You've heard from me many times over the past few days, so I will keep my remarks brief in nature. I did want to draw your attention to a relief package Congress is voting on for schools in regards to the COVID-19 crisis. Please take 5 minutes to click on the link below and send Congress a note to include our private schools in the relief package. This is an important message we must send to support our community, school, and one another. If you haven't "liked" us on our official Facebook page yet you can click on the Facebook icon at the bottom of this eUpdate. It's been fun to see all the new families following us on our page.
Thanks to our PTO for the fun email/gift card!!! Such a fun surprise! Our teachers were so excited, they are working so hard to make the next 7 weeks special for your kids. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For your continued prayers and flexibility, I hope to see you all at our first ever Drive By High Five Friday.
With a Grateful Heart,

Contact Congress on COVID-19 Relief for Catholic Schools
The US Senate is currently considering a coronavirus relief package that includes aid to K-12 schools. Currently, there is language in the legislation allowing non-public schools to receive relief. However, it appears that some are attempting to remove this language.
Please use CAPE's Legislative Action Center to urge senators to make sure that private schools are not excluded from Congress' COVID-19 relief package.
