Friends of SJB Branches

Community Events
The Community Event branch plans and implements functions for the school community. The intention is to build and strengthen our community while also having some flexibility to designate where funds are allocated. Gala and Glimmer will still be run by the School but we may offer support for those or any successors to those events.

​If you are interested in being a part of Community Events please contact us at [email protected]
SJB Cares (Social Justice)
SJB Cares practices St. John Berchmans social justice values. This is done through service opportunities to support the school, neighborhood and nonprofit organizations. By promoting volunteerism, we hope to foster a strong community of engaged, caring individuals as well as expand our understanding of the world we live in.

Teacher Support
The Teacher Support branch provides assistance and support to our wonderful SJB teachers and staff. The roles created are intended to support teachers’ morale and reduce their administrative work, giving them more time to focus on their students. By improving and increasing the avenues of communication amongst each classroom’s families, we hope families will get to know each other better, identify more volunteer opportunities and to learn what is needed in their classrooms.
