This highly anticipated event will be taking place at Ford Center Stadium, part of The Star – the world-class practice facility of the Dallas Cowboys. Our unique gathering is about much more than just football; it's a celebration of Faith, Freedom, and Football; the spirit of resilience that sports can inspire in all of us. As we come together for this special occasion, we're not just competing on the field; we're also taking a moment to remember and learn from the tragedies of 9/11. It's a time to reflect on the values that unite us – courage, perseverance, and solidarity.

Hello SJS Family!

Check out a snapshot from Fun Friday! Ms. Elena is celebrating this day with the children. They are having a spider man party. On Friday the children are given time for creative play.

We celebrated Barb over the summer. Over the summer she retired. Ms. Barb dedicated her time and talent to help serve families, children, and teachers. She was a teacher, cook, mentor, and office assistant. Over the many years of her service, she created many wonderful memories. We were so blessed to have her be part of our team. She is truly missed! We dedicated a star to celebrate her years of dedication to St. John Childcare, St. John School and church.

We have open enrollment starting at 6 weeks to After School Care! Please call the child care office for more information.

God bless you and your family!
