Well, it's spring and it's snowing. Guess it's Central Pennsylvania! The students certainly enjoyed the flurries at recess today, though.

Please be sure to read through carefully, as there continues to be a lot of happenings as we begin our final marking period.

Enjoy your long weekend! Staff will be spending the next two days in workshops on Safety and Security, and also finishing up our LETRS Training and Certification. We really are blessed with the best!

Sincerely in Christ,

Mrs. Tice

Saint John School is seeking a passionate and dedicated educator to join our faculty as a 5th Grade Teacher for the 2025-2026 school year.

As we look ahead, we also take a moment to express our deep gratitude to Mrs. Mary Park, who will be retiring at the end of this school year. Mrs. Park has spent the last three years at Saint John School, bringing her wisdom, kindness, and unwavering commitment to her students. Her work here is the beautiful culmination of a long and meaningful career in education. She has touched the hearts of many students and colleagues, and her presence will be greatly missed. We pray that her retirement is filled with joy, peace, and well-deserved rest.

Interested candidates for the 5th grade teaching position are invited to apply. Contact Mrs. Tice for more information.

Please join us in thanking Mrs. Park for her incredible contributions and in praying for a bright future for our next 5th grade teacher.

You can find the order form using this link:

The yearbook price is $23.25 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 June 3rd.

With the continuing increase of shipping costs, and with a successful yearbook distribution over the past three 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.

The After School Care Enrollment link is now available for March 31 - April 4

https://forms.gle/9tnfNjtTCASvbQMm9

If you are planning to have your child utilize the After School Care Program during this time, we ask that you register them using this link by 12:00 p.m. on Friday, March 28.

We will be electing new board officers at our next meeting on May 7. Executive board members lead the Home & School Association and serve two-year terms. It is a great way to get involved and give back to the school! Be on the lookout for more information soon. If you have immediate questions, please email hsa@saintjohnsch.net.

Make plans to join us on Sunday, June 8, for our annual end-of-year family picnic at DelGrosso's!

More information will be sent home in the near future.

Please join us as we pray for the special intentions of Our Saint John School Family.

Saint Joseph,
Patron Saint of Families,

Pray for Us.
