St. Joe Successes

Elsa Schmitz, daughter of Dave & Nancy, (SJS 2006), has been selected by the People to People Student Ambassador Program to join their student delegation and travel to Australia this July. Acceptance into the program is based on her demonstration of leadership, citizenship, and willingness to venture into the world in the name of peace, friendship and understanding.

The students will participate in an educational exploration program founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The students will learn about the world through hands-on interaction with local government officials as well as serve a greater purpose through community service projects designed to help the environment.

Elsa's acceptance into the program is due in part to her exceptional education and commitment to community service she gained at St. Joseph School.

The family asks the people of St. Joseph to keep Elsa and the delegation in their prayers for a safe and enjoyable trip.

Elsa, we hope you have a great time!
