Mount Saint Joseph Mothers' Club Newsletter ~ May 2026 Print

President's Report

Happy May! It’s hard to believe we are at the end of the 2025 - 2026 school year. It is amazing how quickly it went! We had a small turn out for our April meeting where discussed the open Mothers’ Club Executive Board and Committee Chair positions. Many Committee Chair positions need volunteers due to senior Moms whose sons are graduating and moving on, please consider joining us. We will be voting on the new board nominees at our May meeting.
A shout out goes to our wonderful Faculty Special Events Chairs Janine and Sarah and their committee members for delivering special gifts to the MSJ Admins and for another great Morning Munchies. We have one final Morning Munchies this year on May 7th which will be the culmination of Teacher Appreciation Week, so it would be great if we could make those baskets extra special with lots of donations.
Our May meeting is on Tuesday 5/5/26 at 7:00 pm in the Alumni room located in the Smith Center. We will be holding elections for our NEW 26-27 executive committee members during this meeting, so if you would like to vote please attend the meeting.  If you are unable to attend in person, we will have an online ballot available for one day to allow members to vote. We will have food and beverages to share, as well.

We hope to see many of you at the meeting and wish all of you a wonderful May!
Upcoming May/June Events:
• May 5th- Mothers’ Club meeting- Elections
• May 7th - Morning Munchies
• May 20th – Book Club (Kelsey’s)
• June 2nd - Mother's Club Meeting- End of Year Social

All the best,
Holly Evans
