Annual Gala Announcement and Special Incentives!
We are thrilled to announce that our Annual Gala will take place on Friday, February 28th! This event is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community to support our school and celebrate the blessings of faith and fellowship.
To make this year’s gala even more exciting, we are offering several incentives for early participation and contributions:
Special Incentives:
Early Ticket Purchase Bonus
Everyone who purchases a ticket by Friday, January 17th will be entered into a drawing for a $50 VISA gift card. You can purchase tickets by texting SJCSGALA to 76278 or click on the link SJCSGALA.givesmart.com
Auction Item Donations:
Families who donate an auction item worth more than $50 will earn a No Homework Pass for their student.
Sponsorship Benefits:
Families who sponsor the gala will earn an Out of Uniform Day for their students.
Donations:
In addition to auction items, we are asking for donations of wine, worth at least $20, and gift cards in various amounts.
Please note: Each student can earn only one No Homework Pass or Out of Uniform Day.
Classroom Competition:
To inspire a bit of healthy competition:
The homeroom that donates the highest number of auction items will win a Chick-fil-A lunch with Mr. Villacura.
The teacher of that winning homeroom will earn a Jeans Day for their entire division! For example, if Mrs. Updyke’s homeroom collects the most items, all teachers in grades 3-5 will enjoy a Jeans Day.
Auction Item Drop-Off:
When: Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting Tuesday, January 14th
Where: Morning carpool line
We encourage everyone to participate in this exciting event and take advantage of these special opportunities. Thank you for your continued support of St. Joseph School. Together, we can make this year’s gala a memorable and impactful occasion!

Events at SJCS
Our community is warm and welcoming! We gather at various times to build friendships, whether through Home & School association events or committees, volunteering in the classrooms, weekly school mass, Fun Food or basketball games. It’s all about building our community for our students.
A few times a year we have very special events. We start the year off in August with our Welcome Back Happy Hour, St. Joseph Fund Kickoff held at the school. An opportunity to reconnect after the summer break, see how much our kids have grown and enjoy ourselves. It’s a great way to start the year then we reconnect soon after with our family Block Party.
In the late winter we have our annual Gala & Auction for a fun adults-only good time as we raise funds for our school! We get dressed up and let our hair down! This important event started in 2008 to raise funds for our school but specifically, for upgrades.
In the spring, we invite our students' grandparents to our campus for a morning of visiting the classrooms, breakfast with student entertainment, followed by school mass. Our Grandparents’ Day brings smiles to everyone’s faces. It is a beautiful event to let our grandparents know how very important they are in their grandchildren’s lives. It is a favorite event for the whole community!
