Last week I reported to you concerning enrollment for next fall, 126 registered. That was last week. This week I am pleased to tell you we have 131, which is an increase of 27 over last year. In some of the lower grades we are almost full because we cap kindergarten and above at 24 students. There are a few places left in our pre-school but only for afternoon sessions. All students who are there during lunch time partake in the Food Across the Curriculum Program as part of the tuition.
 
No one reason is causing this growth but multiple factors. However, one of the most important reasons is simply that we will never cease striving to be a superior school in educational learning blended with our faith. Active parishioners at St. Joseph Parish and parishioners at St. Peter of the Fields will never be turned away because of price. Approach us and we will make it work for you.
