  • Saint Joseph School Centennial Celebration

    100 years of Catholic education deserves a celebration and our centennial committee is excited to announce that we will be holding a GALA celebration on Saturday, March 8th, 2025 at Hillview Country Club in North Reading, MA.  The theme for this "adults only" event is "the Roaring Twenties"! Festivities will include entertainment, and both a silent and live auction.  Funds raised from the GALA will be used to enhance our educational programs as well as some much needed capital improvements to our 100 year old building.  This is a monumental undertaking and as many hands make light work, we welcome all families to join one of the subcommittees for this event.  Volunteers are needed to secure sponsorships, gather donations for the auction, package donations, marketing materials, ticket sales, and many more. 

    If you are willing to share your time and talent, please email Beth Coppinger or Alayne Flynn. The next meeting of the Centennial Committee is scheduled for Thursday, November 7th at 6:30 in the school library.

    The Centennial Committee will also be organizing other student centered and family centered events this year!

  • Coat Drive

    Collection Dates: Monday, November 4th - Wednesday, November 27th

    Once again this year we are partnering with 

    Anton's Cleaners to collect new and gently

     used winter coats for those in need. 

    There will be collection boxes in the

     first floor foyer for the coats.

    Each fall, Anton’s Cleaners collects, cleans and distributes approximately 50,000 coats for children and adults. There are more than 250 schools as well as over 300 companies, clubs, organizations and thousands of individuals who donate good-quality coats. Nearly 90 social service agencies make sure that the coats get to those in need, free of charge. Since the program’s inception in 1995, Anton’s have collected and distributed over one million coats.

    Once collected and cleaned, coats are distributed free of charge through the Coats for Kids Distribution Partners network made up of local nonprofits, schools and social service agencies in New England.
