Principal's Corner
Greetings,
Congratulations to our second graders on their First Communion. This is always one of my favorite occasions at St. John School. The students are so excited and reverent. I received many positive comments about our students being very prayerful during the Mass. A special thank you to Ms. Burns for doing such a great job in preparing the students.
Also, I would like to thank Jim McCarty for donating the mulch and all those who helped spruce up the grounds last Saturday. Our volunteers are truly the heart and soul of our parish.
Remember to attend the Town Hall meeting this Tuesday at 6:30pm. This meeting will address the latest developments concerning Ss. Francis and John Church. If you want to find out more about the future for our church and school, this is the place to get all your questions answered.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
