Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back for Term 5. I hope you all had a great Easter Break.
Titanic 100th Anniversary Performance
The special concert took place during the Easter holidays, with the St Joseph's Choir performing as part of a huge performance of 500 people. Well done to Mrs. Marsh and all the children, for again being amazing ambassadors for St. Joseph's! Also thank you to parents for supporting the school choir. The choir children will receive a special certificate next Friday, 27th April, also they will be wearing their special tee shirts.
Shape up for Summer
A brand new fitness class for parents and friends here at St Joseph’s School Hall. ‘Shape Up for Summer’ is a fun and effective class that will get results! Easy to follow aerobic and boxing moves with exercise to tone and shape bums, tums, legs and arms. This class is suitable for beginners too. First class starts on Tuesday 1st May from 6.30-7.30pm for a starting price of just £2.00.
Bring a mat or a towel, a drink and a friend. For more details contact Lucy on 077901716105 or lucyferris@aol.com.
