St. Joseph High School

One of the most wonderful things at our school lately was the annual

BOX LUNCH AUCTION!

Hosted by Ratzlaff / Kelln and Muggeridge TGGs, along with our student social justice group, ACT, this event was a huge success!

Our amazing students and staff raised a grand total of $8782.22!

 

 

This money will go directly to benefit the students at our partner school, St. Mark Community School. Students who otherwise could not afford to join sport teams, attend summer camps, or participate in other character-building activities outside of school will now have the opportunity to do so!

St. Joseph HS, you should be so proud of this accomplishment!

         CITY CHAMPIONSHIPS:
        The Guardian wrestlers flexed their muscles in a huge way at the
City Championships. We have 7 new city champion gold medalists! They include: Rachel Thera, Melanie Haanen, Liam McMahon, Sang Carlson, Sean Majeran, Patrick McMahon, and Donovan Dale. Our other wrestlers making the podium were, silver medalists: Kim Kotlar and Mike Chisan, bronze medalists: Gillian Walker, Colton Weigers, Shamus McKinney and Tanner Armstrong! Joining these wrestlers at the Provincial Championships are our 4^th place finishers: Jon Ronn, Troy Kirkpatrick and Jen Smolinski.

For the city team titles, we finished a close second in both the boys and girls competition! For the second year in a row, our boy's team captured the trophy for the largest improvement on team point totals!

Congratulations to all our wrestlers who competed so hard all year for their school!

PROVINCIALS:

A big congratulations to the 16 wrestlers who represented St. Joseph so well at the Provincial Championships! The boys' team was led to a 3rd place finish by Donovan Dale who went undefeated and had no points scored on him to repeat a 2-time provincial champion. Patrick and Liam McMahon both put forth exceptional performances to capture silver medals. Ten of our eleven boys finished in the top 6 and scored team points!

On the girls' side, Gillian Walker finished 4th, Rachel Thera 5th, and Kim Kotlar 6th. Other boys finishing in the top 6 were Sang Carlson 4th, Colton Wiegers 4th, Troy Kirkpatrick 4th, Jon Ronn 5th, Sean Majeran 5th, Tanner Armstrong 6th, Shamus McKinney 6th. Great Job, Guardians!!!

 

SENIOR GIRLS ARE CITY CHAMPS!!!!!

Congratulations to the Senior Girls for beating the MG Falcons 74-73 in a tough battle on Saturday night at the PAC. The girls also qualify for Hoopla which will be held in Regina, March 19-21.

  Congratulations to the boys team on a hard fought season.  Unfortunately the boys fell short in their quest to attend Hoopla being defeated by Evan Hardy in Friday's quarter final. 

 

 

 

 CHRISTMAS HAMPERS!

The St. Joseph Guardians once again spread Christmas cheer with the distribution of Christmas Food Hampers to needy families affiliated with some of Saskatoon's community schools.  34 hampers were distributed to help over 150 adults and children enjoy a blessed and joyous Christmas!!!

Thank you to all the students, staff, and parents who so generously contributed to this project.  A special thank you goes to Mr. Quinn Magnuson and 1-800-GOT-JUNK for giving his time and his truck to help with many of the deliveries!

 

 

 

 

On October 19, 2008, St. Joe's took action and stood up against poverty!

We made history when the Guardians joined over 116.9 million people to Stand Up and Take Action (www.standagainstpoverty.org) on October 19 2008.  Together we will continue calling on our elected leaders to achieve and exceed the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015 and put an end to poverty and  inequality. 

 

Around 50,000 people still die from poverty every day and the current food, fuel and financial crises mean the pressure on women and marginalized people already struggling to survive has increased dramatically. We must keep working together to ensure that the commitments made by our governments to improve the lives of the world's poorest are honoured. It is more urgent than ever that we continue to strengthen the global movement against poverty and continue to hold our leaders accountable for their promises.

Halloweening for HUNGER!

On Hallowe'en night, over 60 students went door-to-door... but instead of the usual request for candy, our students asked for donations to the Food Bank. This was our 3rd Annual Halloweening for Hunger campaign. We appear to have collected even more food than we did last year - which was over 800 pounds!

This year, we coordinated our efforts with the University of Saskatchewan's Trick or Eat initiative, so we were able to cover even more of the city than in past years! 

The Saskatoon Food Bank will be picking up the food on Tuesday.

 

A HUGE thank you to everyone who went out to collect food and all the community members who opened their hearts (and their cupboards!) to make our campaign such an amazing success!

 

 THANK YOU ST. JOSEPH STUDENTS, STAFF, AND COMMUNITY!

 

 

"DO" Something ...Get a NEW 'DO!

WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS!

Over 90 students, staff, and community members participated in the event!

We collected more than 4 POUNDS OF HAIR to be donated to make real-hair wigs for cancer patients! 

AND... we raised OVER $11,000 in total for cancer research!!!!!!! WOW! 

Mrs. Nicholson Kelly's TGG is grateful to everyone who helped make our project a reality. If you sacrificed hair, raised/donated money, or contributed in any way, you should be EXTREMELY PROUD!

 Look what we had a hand in accomplishing:
