Happy Wednesday
Thank you to all who supported Centre Gives! Through the generosity of 45 donors, we were able to raise over $4000 for our Angel Fund. Our Angel Fund is imperative to the success of our mission, with its monies being used to directly support our students and staff.
Watch your child's folder for information about this year's Summer Science Camp with Dr. Topper! It will be coming home today. The format is a bit different year, but the science and fun is always the same!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Red Sneakers for Oakley Dress Down Day! Donations will still be accepted tomorrow if you would still like to contribute.
Be sure to check the menu changes listed below so that your child isn't surprised at lunch.
Have a great day!
Sincerely in Christ,
Mrs. Tice

A note from Mrs. Weiser
As we start to head to the finish line for school, I would like to start something new! I will be placing a collection box outside my room from now until the end of school for any unwanted art supplies your child may have here at school! Broken crayons and color pencils? No problem! Markers? Erasers? Rulers? The Art Room can use them!
Saint John Yearbook online sales are open!
You can find the order form using this link:
https://jostensyearbooks.com/?REF=A09880595
The yearbook price is $24.00 plus tax and service fee. Yearbooks are estimated to arrive mid-summer and will include the end of the year school events. The deadline to order a yearbook is May 31st.
With the continuing increase of shipping costs, and with a successful yearbook distribution over the past two years, we will be having another two-day yearbook pick up at Saint John School. The two pick-up dates will be determined upon notification of yearbook shipment. If you are unable to pick up on either of the TBD dates, your child’s yearbook will be sent home on the first day of school.
