School begins!
Hey there party people, trying out an experimental option for the students to have a look at their social studies activities.
Currently comments cannot be viewed as I wish to ensure the appropriateness of the exchanges taking place.
As topics and time goes by I will consider this as a discussion area for parents, students, and teachers at St. Joseph's.
In the meantime...
