Eagle Scout Brendan Facius
Congratulations to Brendan Facius, SJS Class of 2020, THS Class of 2024, who has just completed his Eagle Scout project for the Kimberly Ann Fahnestock-Voelz Memorial VFW Post 7530. Brendan built a ceremonial fire pit for the Post, which will be used to formally retire the flags of our Nation. This project was his own vision and planning, but would not have been made possible without the help of his family, Trinity High School students, and the Scouts of Troop 195. Way to go Brendan!

Girl Scout News!
Girl Scout Troop 11523 Cadettes (Kiara Becker, Evie Dryden, Lily Dryden, Madison Facius, and Zarifa Gamble) have been working on their Silver Award. They wanted to help create awareness among the student body at Saint Joseph School, and beyond, of the possible dangers that the use of plastic water bottles could have on the environment. This idea came to the girls when Saint Joseph School installed refillable water stations throughout the school last year. The girls took their idea and ran with it; creating a video and posters, which were in turn were laminated, to be hung near the water stations around the school. Check out their videoWay to go Girls!!!
