SJU Student Council- Morning Prayer

Good morning! 
Here is the link for this week's Student Council morning prayers. 
We birthday shout outs, FUN facts, jokes and a special guest giving us great insight on the weather!  These weekly videos always put a smile on my face because it reminds us to keep praying the SJU way and laughing together.


Don't forget to join us for May Crowning Mass this Friday, May 1 at 11:00am LIVE via the parish Facebook page "Catholic Community of St. Joseph."  It will also be on our school website in the afternoon at stjosephupland.org.

Have a blessed week!

PE Ideas from Mrs. Bechtel

Hi Vikings,

I have you all in my prayers during this time.  I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather! Remember to try and stay active.  I know some of us may be limited, so I have some fun YouTube channels for dances and moves you can enjoy with lots of great songs and themes. Enjoy them with your family. Dancing, working out, and a game or two can be done during the day.  For example, take a "recess" break and enjoy one of the following:

Just Dance (YouTube Channel)
Get Kids Moving (YouTube Channel)
Use sidewalk chalk to draw a Four Square grid on the ground and play with your family

SJU Student Council- Morning Prayer

Welcome back!
It is great to be back in virtual school with all of you (even though I would much rather be back on campus).  I hope you enjoyed a well-deserved break and are ready to get back into your daily learning routine.
Here is this week's prayer video by our wonderful Student Council.

Wishing all of you a fantastic week ahead!

Storytime with Mrs. Grant

Mrs. Grant misses her students so very much!  She decided to read a story aloud to them just like she would in the classroom.  It was too good not to share with ALL of you so here it is.  Cooper's Big Bear Hug is a beautiful story about a bear looking for the very best way to tell his parents how much he loves them.

Gratitude, Prayer, and FUN!

Better late than never!

Sorry the video took longer to post.  I learned that I am not an expert at iMovie and I wanted to be sure to include as many photos from our Distance Learning Spirit Days as possible.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend with your families!
