I:55 Book Fair - January 26 - January 31!
I:55 BOOK FAIRS - Where Faith Matters
I:55 Book Fairs exists to glorify the name of Jesus Christ. This core value permeates every aspect of their business from the products they select to the services they offer. In today's culture, it is difficult for parents and educators to protect students from unwanted knowledge. For this reason, I:55 screens their products through the filter of faith. (- from i55bookfairs.com About Us page)
Students will be able to peruse the new books and write down their "wish list" which will include pricing. There are limited quantities, so we encourage you to take advantage of the early dates, if possible. Titles may also be ordered for you (see your friendly librarian).

St. John's Child Care
A Note from St. John's Child Care
Hello SJS Family!
We are doing a food drive for the outreach center. Parents are donating can goods. The classroom who donates the most food wins an ice cream party.
We also participated in cook children’s safety initiative. We passed out free bathtub kneelers. They are used to help parents with bathing their children. This is to help prevent bathtub drownings. Mrs. Rupple asked us to help participate in this initiative.
God bless you and your family!
