Don’t you just love this time of year? Fall football, cooler weather, and one can sense the holidays on the horizon. One cannot help but be grateful. We have certainly experienced a bountiful harvest at USJ. We have been blessed with committed teachers who are dedicated to the mission of growing our children, as well as parents who show up in droves to cheer on their kids, help other families when they are in need and support the school in a myriad of ways.
