10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14

5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15.


Please plan to pick up your candy during one of these windows if possible. If you are not able to pick up your candy during one of these time slots, it will be sent home with your student shortly after school begins.

Families who did not make a candy selection or choose the buy-out option in our recent survey will receive one variety box of candy bars to sell. These boxes can either be picked up during the time slots noted above, or they will be sent home with your student after school begins.



If you have any questions, please email hsa@saintjohnsch.net.
