📚 SJA Shines at the Diocese of Joliet Battle of the Books! 📚

21 of our SJA students proudly represented our school at the largest Diocese of Joliet Battle of the Books competition in over a decade, with 10 schools and over 250 students gathering at the Cathedral of St. Raymond! After months of preparation and countless pages read, our teams had an incredible showing:

🏆 4th Grade Team – 1st Place
🏆 5th Grade Team – 1st Place
🥉 Junior High Team – 3rd Place

In a new individual competition round, our 8th graders truly impressed:

🥇 Damian S. – 1st Place
🥈 Jude D. – 2nd Place


We are so proud of our students’ dedication, teamwork, and love for reading! Thank you to St. Raymond for hosting such a well-organized and fun event. 📖
