Save our Scholarships! Did you know that roughly 15% of our students receive some sort of financial assistance to attend our school?  And did you know that in the last few years, we have been able to fund these scholarships using the Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship program?  That means, more of our dollars can be used for the benefit of ALL of our Eagles, hiring staff, expanding programs, making capital improvements and investing in our future.  Sadly, this program may be dissolved as soon as the end of the year.  We could use your support in helping to advocate for saving this valuable resource for us.  Please consider attending a meeting at SJB next week to learn more about how you can contribute.  See the information below for more information.   Peggy Roketenetz, Principal Judy Ciukowski, School Administrative Assistant Louis Russo, Director of Operations Julie Castelli, Director of Admissions & Enrichment Claire Kenny, Director of Events Fr.
