The purpose of the St. Joseph Public Schools Foundation is to raise, steward and distribute resources to enrich the education of students in the St. Joseph Public Schools District. Its vision is to increase opportunities for students in curricula, facilities and learning options by securing resources from diverse sources of funding through community involvement.

The Band, Orchestra, and Choir teachers recently attended their state level conference in Grand Rapids. This year, our own Burke Lokey was awarded the M.A.S.T.A. Teacher of the Year Award. MASTA is the Michigan Chapter of the American String Teachers Association. MASTA takes nominations from around the state, and narrows it down to the 3 based on their resume and accomplishments. The membership of MASTA then votes on the final 3 to choose the teacher they'd like to recognize. Congratulations Mr. Lokey!
