Although it was snowing outside, St. Joseph School students had a festive end to October. On Friday, October 30th, students, faculty, and staff came to school dressed in their fun Halloween costumes. In the past, Buddy Classes and their teachers would parade around the school grounds and then visit the rectory to receive a sweet Halloween treat. However, due to COVID restrictions and the weather, Principal Michael Hackenson and Headmaster Rev. Grzegorz Chodkowski brought the goodies to them. Each student received a special Halloween treat bag compliments of the St. Joseph School Home and School Association. The day culminated with parties and activities in each classroom. Besides having a little Halloween fun, students also celebrated the end of the first quarter marking period. The next evening, St. Joseph School 8th Grade students hosted a Spooky Drive-thru event in the schoolyard. Attendees got to see ghostly decorations, glowing jack-o-lanterns, and fun holiday-themed inflatables as they drove through the yard. This year’s events may have been different from year’s past, but the students and faculty of St. Joseph School are finding ways to continue the fun and start new traditions.
