Cause: American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders

APFED is a nonprofit organization founded in December 2001 by a group of mothers of young children living with eosinophil-associated diseases. It is a patient advocacy group dedicated to improving the lives of those living with eosinophilic disorders. This cause is very helpful to many people with eosinophilic diseases because it raises money for research to help find cures to help people be able to live normal lives.

Sports Zone 101

Are your kids looking to hang out with their classmates afterschool?  Do you need them to run around and burn off energy?  Then please consider signing up for Sports Zone!  With the weather getting nicer, Sports Zone is offering multiple programs for St Joes.  

Spring

We are excited to announce that  Sports Zone will be offering an after school program  at Moulton Park (just down the street from the school) exclusively for SJS students for  the Spring! For the first time they will run 2 separate programs simultaneously for us- One for K-4th and one for 5th-8th.  This will allow them to tailor the program better for each age group!

The Spring session runs on Wednesdays from  4/14-5/26. 

The children will be checked in at the school and escorted down to the park by a Sports Zone instructor right after school.  All of their instructors will be wearing masks and the children will need to as well when they are not six feet apart. We encourage participating children to pack sneakers and bring a snack and water bottle.  Parent pick up will be at the park (not the school) promptly at 4:00. 

Please register by Monday 4/11  in order to ensure appropriate staffing. For more information and to register, please click on the link below
