Catholic Schools Week: From Prayers to Arm Wrestling
It was a successful and memorable Catholic Schools Week at St. Joseph's, one that included prayers and witnesses shared, arm wrestling and knockout, and a little bit of everything in between.
Doors were decorated, parents visited, students dressed down, trivia was played and gratitude notes were written. Throughout the week, 17,313 diapers were collected for Birthright of Greenville, with Drexel House bringing in 8,251 of those.
At Friday's pep rally, winter sports teams were recognized; senior Chloe Duncan and Coach Nash won in arm wrestling competition; and sophomore Owen Smith and Coach Lane took first in knockout.
A special thanks to our wonderful Parents Guild, which provided a traveling coffee cart and a delicious barbecue lunch for our faculty and staff.
Sister Lucita's Household (Royal Legends) won the door decorating contest. The results are below, along with the results of the diaper collection.
