School to Offer Italian in Fall 2008

St. Joseph High School logoWe are pleased to announce that St. Joseph's 7-12 School will begin offering Italian at both the Junior and Senior High Schools effective in the Fall of 2008.

Italian 1 will be offered at both the Junior and Senior High Schools. It does not matter which grade the students are in. Then, next year they hope to offer an Italian 1 and Italian 2 class in both the Junior and Senior High Schools.

Job Opportunity
St Joseph's is currently conducting a search for a part-time Italian Teacher. There is the opportunity for two classes at the high school level and one at the junior high level for Italian 1. For more information, contact Erin Riley at erinr@wi.rr.com or Sue Meyer smeyer@kenoshastjoseph.com. Sue Meyer can be reached at 262-654-8651 ext.120.
