The "Be Welcomed" Freshman Program
The SJCI BE WELCOMED Freshman Program is a full calendar of events designed to help the newest members of the St. Joe’s community become engaged in the life of the school, deepen new friendships, and become part of the historic brotherhood that defines St. Joe’s. While many of our students take part in one of our 45 sports teams, perform as part of our second-to-none music and drama program, and join one or more of our dozens of clubs and extracurricular activities, the specialized events that comprise the BE WELCOMED program are meant to help the members of the Class of 2028 connect to one another, to the school as a whole, and to our sister-school partners. Events include September's "Fire it Up" Bonfire Dance, January's Pizza Party, and June's Freshman Class Trip to New York City. Please refer to your Fast Facts for New Parents document for the full calendar of events.
