Happenings at St. Joseph Regional Catholic School


submitted by St. Joseph Regional Catholic School Spring is a busy time for all and St. Joseph Regional Catholic School is no exception. Continuing in our outreach programs, students and staff alike donated basic clothing necessities as well as school supplies to be sent off to our buddies at the Nagolie Children’s Home in Kenya. As part of this program, students from fifth through eight grades also correspond throughout the year with the children at the orphanage. In athletics, both the boys baseball and girls softball are teams underway with practices and games. In the lower grades, jump rope club is a fun and healthy afterschool activity for those involved. Other students have continued with spring sessions of computer club and robotics. The Mandarin class also continues to flourish. Our staff has been busy as


well. They recently attended the National Catholic Educators


Association conference which was held in Boston this month. There they attended a great variety of seminars related to both general education and subject specific topics. Our teachers have come back to school equipped with even more professional development, new ideas, and tools that can be incorporated into their classrooms. With spring comes a sense of renewal and revitalization, and it’s obvious throughout our school!

Charlie Chalk Hunting Education Leads


with to Participation School News


The more familiar youth are with individuals their own age who hunt and target shoot, the more likely they will be to support and participate in these activities. This key finding and others come from a major new research project commissioned by the Hunting Heritage Trust and National Shooting Sports Foundation® to determine the impact of peer influence on youth participation in hunting and the shooting sports. Responsive Management, the well-known public opinion


researchers in the fields of conservation, hunting and target shooting, conducted the research in January using focus groups and a nationwide scientific telephone survey of youth ages 8 to 17 years old. The study also revealed that youth have a curiosity about the shooting sports and an eagerness to learn more about them. Non- participants said they would accept an invitation to try target shooting and hunting. When the percentages from the study were applied to U.S. population estimates, the report found that more than 23 million youth ages 8 to 17 would be likely to hunt if invited in the next 12 months, and more than 27 million youth would be likely to target shoot if invited during that period. “The most important obligation for youth hunting and shooting ambassadors is to invite their friends to go hunting and shooting,” the report said.
