Happy Wednesday
I want to begin by saying "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart for the beautiful notes and kind words in honor of Principal Appreciation Day! I truly didn't know it was even a thing! What an incredible way to start the day. I'm humbled and grateful for our wonderful Saint John School family. Thank you!
God bless our First Holy Communicants, who received this special sacrament for the very first time this past Saturday. Thank you to all who sent in flowers for our May Crowning, to our 2nd and 5th grade students for leading us in Mass, and our 3rd grade students for leading us in one decade of the rosary. It was a perfect morning honoring our Blessed Mother.
Thank you to everyone who sent in pantry staples for our Spring Food Drive: It's not too late to add to the collection, as the food will be delivered later this week.
We are looking forward to the 3rd - 5th Grade Concert and Art Show this Sunday! Please direct any questions to Mrs. Stanton or Mrs. Weiser.
Finally, the 2024-2025 calendar is complete and you will find it linked below.
Have a great day!
Sincerely in Christ,
Mrs. Tice
Special Dress Down Day Coming May 15th
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.
Save the Date!
Dr. Topper's Summer Science Camp will be slightly different this year, with daily field trips the week of June 17 - 20. Stay tuned for more information.
