Dear Parents and Friends,

I am pleased to present to you the 2018-2019 Annual Report for St.

Joseph Catholic School. Within these pages you will see a glimpse of the

things that make our school such a vibrant, unique community.

At the heart of all that we do is our Catholic religion. Our primary goal

each year is to teach our students to form a loving relationship with our

gracious God. We want our students to experience that deep satisfaction

when they take time to speak with and listen to our God. We also take

that next step, and ask them to live out their faith, as well. Actions such as

kindness, compassion, lending a helping hand and positive comments are

all actions that our students regularly display.

We have high expectation for our students in their academic subjects, as

well. Students learn not only basic material, but they are also taught higher

level thinking skills. We do this purposefully; we prepare our students with

a fund of knowledge, and we teach them how to think through a problem.

We do all this each day so that when our students leave our doors, they are

prepared for their future!

We are blessed; we are a community where we actively teach our faith to

our students. We are a community where it is the norm to show compassion

for another person. We are a community which sets high standards for

our students. We are, St. Joseph Catholic School.

Thank you for your continued support of our school. Your generous

donations to the school continue to allow us to provide a top-notch Catholic

education to our students. Thank you!

Know that the Lord is God. It is he that made us and we are his;

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Psalm 100:3

Regards,

Patricia Allen, Ph.D.

Principal

2018-2019

Employee of the year

Molly Mitchell,

Second-grade teacher

2018-2019 SJCS Employee

of the Year as well as

winning “Best Teacher”

for Cobb County. She is

very service minded, kind,

dedicated, passionate, very

positive, and creative just to

name a few of her qualities.

She loves her students, and the students love her.

She is a blessing for SJCS.

2018-2019

Volunteer of the year

Michele Austin

Michele, is a very dependable

and compassionate

person who always brings

a lot of fun, energy and

humor to everything she

does. You can always count

on Michele to step up and

help out with any committee

or person in need. She is probably the most

passionate person about St. Joseph School.

She is well loved by all. Earning the volunteer

of the year award is very deserving!

SJCS ANGEL FUND

This fund is available to families

suffering temporary financial hardship.

2019 Angel Fund Donors:


Mr. Milward Gonsalves and

Ms. Mildred DaCosta




Mrs. Michelle Robles

Mr. and Mrs. Scot Teverino

Mr. and Mrs. Christopher K. Withers

(Many additional donors who donated directly to Catholic Foundation of North Georgia

are listed in the CFNG Annual Report.)

GRACE SCHOLARS

GRACE Scholars is a student scholarship organization (SSO)

established by the Archdiocese providing tuition assistance

to families with financial need. Donors can designate specific

schools – like St. Joseph Catholic School – to receive their donation.

A taxpayer in Georgia can “use” part of his Georgia income

tax to provide scholarships for students entering Catholic Schools

in Georgia. This occurs because the taxpayer receives a 100%

tax credit against his GA tax liability for the amount donated to

GRACE Scholars. Therefore, money that was going to pay taxes is

supporting Catholic education for those in need.

GRANDPARENT LEND-A-HAND

As part of the Annual Fund,

the Grandparent Lend-A-Hand

Campaign has become an

essential part of our fundraising

efforts. Established in 2010,

this important fund has raised

money to improve the school

Media Center and add

technology upgrades to our

school. Thank you Grandparents

for your unending support of

our school.
