Dear St. Joe Moms,

Welcome to the Mothers' Club Web Page. Check it out, explore. We are hoping to have as much information as possible on this page. If you cannot find what you need just call.

The Mothers’ Club is here to:

• promote understanding and cooperation between faculty and mothers
• promote the general welfare of the school
• promote the good name and reputation of St. Joseph’s Academy
• undertake certain projects to raise money for the needs of the school

Take time to look over the web site and see where you can help out within the Mothers’ Club. I look forward to seeing you sometime this year.

Fondly,
Wendy Esslinger
