Spring Musical
SJCS was excited to reintroduce our Spring Musical program in 2022 after a 2-year hiatus due to the Pandemic.
Under the direction of St. Joseph Catholic School Drama Teacher Paul Mahoney, Music Teacher Jody Kienzler, and English Teacher and Choreographer Susan Jarvis, students performed The Pirates of Penzance Jr.
In April of 2023, St. Joseph Catholic School presented Disney's Beauty and the Beast Jr.
With a combination of 4 days and evenings, SJCS students in 5th grade to 8th grade, brought the joy of music, dance, and comedy to our local community.
We appreciate the many hours Mr. Mahoney, Mrs. Kienzler, and Ms. Jarvis spent during and after school working with these performers. We also want to thank our SJCS Families and Staff for all of their support of this program.

Not only did these students share their talents for acting, but they blessed us all with their beautiful singing voices.

We also want to extend a HUGE thank you to our 4th Grade Teacher Ms. Hamric, Director Mr. Mahoney, Choreographer Ms. Jarvis, and Music Director Jody Kienzler.
