Parents of children ages 2 through 13 are invited to attend an open house, kicking off Catholic Schools Week, beginning at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, January 26 at St. Joseph School, 5641 South 73rd Avenue, Summit (a half block west of 57th and Harlem).
The school’s principal, teachers, alumni, parents and students will be on hand to welcome all prospective students and parents, offer tours and serve complimentary refreshments.
"St. Joseph School, with its smaller class sizes and strong track record of academic success, is something we are very proud of," stated Principal Lawrence Manetti. "Our school gives children an advantage that lasts a lifetime---a firm foundation that prepares boys and girls for the rigors of high school and beyond."
"St. Joseph School also provides a safe, friendly environment for our children to learn and grow," he added.
