COMMUNITY
At SJMV, we believe in a culture of encounter where every member is welcomed, seen, heard, loved, and supported. We are a close-knit community rich in diversity, gifts, and talents. Opportunities for fellowship are at the heart of our community. Below are just a few of the many events that our community enjoys!
Walk a thon
The Walk-A-Thon is one of two major fundraising community events at St. Joseph School. The goal of this fundraiser is to encourage our students to participate in this fun and healthy event while coming together to raise funds for our school. The event takes place at the end of September on a Friday afternoon. Students take laps around the designated area on the field while enjoying treats from our Snack Shack and taking breaks to enjoy activities like face painting, chalk art, and mini volleyball tournaments throughout the event. Parents and family members are invited to join us for a meal afterwards!
annual auction
Our Annual Auction is our second major fundraising community event. The goal of this fundraiser is to provide an opportunity for parents, alumni, and the faculty to come together in fellowship, while raising funds for our school community. Every year there is a fun theme to inspire attire, food, and decorations. Opportunities to bid on experiences like paint night, creative baskets with donated items from a variety of businesses in the community, free dress passes, reserved parking, and Principal for the Day.
ice cream socials
Community and Ice Cream is always a great combination. These are integrated throughout the year to provide simple and yet meaningful opportunities for encounters with new and current families at St. Joseph. Students enjoy ice cream and outdoor activities like hop scotch and bubbles, while parents and other family members converse with other parents and members of the leadership team at SJMV.
Bingo nights
This is a community FAVORITE! There are multiple games in one night, which means multiple winners who select awesome prizes from the stage. We have a light up Bingo Board for easy tracking of the numbers called. Pizza and delicious snacks are available to make the night even more enjoyable!
