On July 31, Dr. Al Long, a noted expert on education, will conduct a Power Planning Session for our parish school. This day-long event will include an evaluation of our school, a review of needs for our school and parishes, and opportunities for input in the creation of a plan to improve how our school serves its students and our community over the next twelve months.

 Dr. Long is an expert at these planning sessions. But a plan is only as good as the information used in its creation. Clearly, parents and grandparents of STSJP students have a vested interest in participating in this planning session. While it may not be as obvious, it is equally important for other parishioners – for  you – to participate. The plan created after this day will have an impact on our community.

Please consider being part of the creation of this Power Plan by participating on Saturday, July 31 at St. Joan of Arc. The day will begin with Mass at 8:15 and continue until approximately 4 pm in the Pope John Paul II room. Reservations are needed to prepare for the day, so please RSVP to 865-9960 or stsjppowerplan@yahoo.com by Monday, July 12.
