We are starting a chapter of Life Runners at SJS. Life Runners is a pro-life group for 5th-8th graders. There is no running involved! Life Runners at SJS love all people, take action to help others, have fun, and are student-led. We meet and wear our shirts to school (with uniform bottoms) every first Wednesday of the month starting October 2nd at 7:10 a.m. To sign up, please go to the website liferunners.org and follow these instructions. Then, check off and sign the bottom portion of this page and return it, along with payment for the shirt to school. We will place another order for shirts for students to wear in November. 2019_SJS_Life_Runners.pdf |
