ST. JOSEPH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, KELOWNA

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to honour the children who never returned home, the survivors of residential schools and their families and communities.

As a Catholic school community, we are committed to listening, learning and walking together on the path of reconciliation.

🧡 Every Child Matters.

We love celebrating our amazing staff 💙

PSG funding helps us host appreciation events through the year.

Praying for our students, staff, families, buildings and curriculum is at the root of our faith, and we believe truly determines our direction and progress as we journey together.

We invite all parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and parishioners to come and join us in praying for our Catholic schools Fridays at 8:45am at St. Joseph School. Our intent is to keep it casual and prompt. We will have scripture reading, short meditation and prayers of intention.

We look forward to seeing you and your family at the Welcome Back Picnic this Thursday.

Bring your picnic and blanket and come and meet the staff and families of St. Joseph School.

🦺 Please do not drop off your children before 8:10am or until you see a supervisor in an orange vest outside. They are not supervised until this time.

🛑 Be sure to role model traffic safety to our children by using the crosswalks and not walking across the area where cars are moving.

🚶 Encourage your children to walk, not run, toward the crosswalk and follow the instructions of the supervisor.

Join us for our first PSG meeting of the year!
Monday, September, 15th at 6:30pm - all parents/caregivers welcome!
