Special Tribute to SJS HSA President Katiria Crespo
On behalf of the faculty, staff, students, and families of St. Joseph the Carpenter School, we extend our deepest gratitude to our Home & School Association President as she prepares to leave our school community.
For several years, she led the Home & School Association with extraordinary dedication, often carrying the responsibilities of the organization almost entirely on her own. Through her unwavering commitment, countless volunteer hours, and generous spirit, she helped strengthen the partnership between our school and families while creating opportunities that enriched the lives of our students.
Her positive attitude, determination, and "can-do" approach inspired everyone around her. No challenge was too great, and no task was beneath her when it came to supporting our school. Whether organizing events, encouraging volunteers, raising funds, or simply offering a helping hand, she always put the needs of our children and school community first.
Her contributions have left a lasting mark on St. Joseph the Carpenter School. More importantly, she has been a source of encouragement, kindness, and faith for so many. The impact of her service will continue to be felt for years to come.
While we will miss her presence, leadership, and friendship, we send her forth with our prayers and best wishes. We will always remember her with profound gratitude and appreciation for the blessing she has been to our school community.
May God bless her abundantly in this next chapter of her journey, and may she always know how deeply she is valued and loved by the St. Joseph the Carpenter School family.
"Well done, good and faithful servant." — Matthew 25:23
With sincere gratitude,
The St. Joseph the Carpenter School Community
