Once a week, Buddy Classes meet to read, work, create, pray, and play together. Older classes are paired with younger classes which provide leadership opportunities as well as build upon friendships across grade and age levels.

Each time a new family joins the SJPS community, we introduce the student to a member of his/her class who takes the primary role as Student Mentor. This mentor provides useful information about life at SPJS, answers questions and becomes an instant friend to ensure a positive transition for our new SJPS family member.

Learning new and difficult material can be easier when working with a friend. At SJPS our middle school students take the lead in helping teachers, staff and students make our school a place where everyone can learn and grow!

BLAZE Days activities involve the entire school in multi-grade, faith-based experiences. Under the supervision of classroom teachers, groups meet monthly to facilitate friendships and faith through club-like offerings such as crafts, hobbies, games, sports and a host of other fun, kid-friendly experiences.
