A big thank you to Minnesota State Moorhead for donating desks, tables, chairs, filing cabinets, and so much more to St. Joseph’s School! We are so grateful and excited to put everything to good use.

And a HUGE shoutout to MT6 Midwest for sending seven guys to help us haul everything over to the school! It was a big job, and we definitely couldn’t have done it without their help.

Thank you, MSUM and Moving Team Six, for your generosity and for helping us get ready for another great school year! ❤️

❤️ We love our volunteers! ❤️

As we get ready to welcome everyone back for another school year, now is a great time to check your Safe Environment Certification. Many certifications expire around this time of year, so please take a moment to make sure yours is up to date.

Keeping your certification current means you’ll be ready to volunteer for field trips, classroom activities, school events and more throughout the year! ✝️

We are so excited about our new Saints basketball uniforms! 🏀

A huge thank you to ND TOUGH gear for creating our new reversible jerseys AND generously adding matching shorts to complete the look!

Our new jerseys were made possible thanks to generous donors, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make this happen for our student-athletes. GO SAINTS! 🏀❤️💙

This was a first for me. Not the jersey creation... I have done tons of those, but a SCHOOL asking me to make jerseys for their basketball teams!! Because it was a first I had to make to extra special and include some bonus matching shirts for their jerseys. The jerseys themselves are reversible but I went with a non reversible short in the 3rd color as a fun way for them to all be able to match. Thank you St Joseph Catholic School for allowing me to make these for you. It was an absolute honor. Good luck this season - I cannot wait for the team pictures ♥️💙

Sister Annella Zervas once walked the halls of St. Joseph's School, and we're honored to have this beautiful portrait as a reminder of her legacy of faith, service, and Catholic education.

As her cause for canonization continues, we invite you to learn more about her inspiring life and join the Centennial Celebration on Saturday, August 8: https://sisterannella.org/centennial-celebration-day/
