Some of our special events during Founders' Day and week included a play about the history of the
school, 120 balloon lift, each sent off with a prayer for the school by the children, and 9/11 Memorial Mass and flag-raising
with Jefferson Guard Honor Guard from St. Joseph's High School. A Travelling History Exhibit will be making the rounds
of Catholic schools around the state and museums. This exhibit was made possible by a grant from the Pine Bluff Community
Foundation, Mr. Christopher Castoro, Director. Bob Devan, a paper conservator from Little Rock, restored six volumes
of artwork, maps and examination papers from the 1890's, paid for by some of the funds from the grant.
