Notes From the Office: April 11th, 2022

St. John School Newsletter

April 11th, 2022

St. John Families:

 

Welcome back!  While the rest over break was nice, it was even better to see all the kiddos back today (even the ones with frowns on their faces!).  This week is such an important week in our faith as we focus on the last days that Jesus walked this earth and the sacrifice that He made for our sins.  Let us not forget that His Resurrection fulfilled the New Covenant and made eternal salvation attainable to the faithful.

 

This Friday, I invite you to join us in the Chapel at 9:15 am for the Passion Play put on by our middle school.  It is a moving and wonderful experience.

 

Please remember that dismissal for Friday (April 15th) will be at 11:15 AM. There is NO AFTERSCHOOL that day. Also, please be aware that BREAKFAST will be served that morning, but there will be NO LUNCH OFFERED to the students.  The gates will open at 11:00 AM and dismissal will be like any other school day with the exception that Preschool-only families (those with no older siblings) will get separate dismissal information from Mrs. Wayman with an earlier dismissal time. Preschoolers with older siblings at St. John will follow the normal dismissal process we follow every day (just at the earlier time).

 

Also, please remember our giving opportunities.  Specifically, the rice bowls for CRS, items for the Afghan refugees, and cases of water and granola bars to support the Dom and Dave Memorial 5K coming up on April 24th.  You can drop off the items at the school office (preferably earlier in the week).

 

Peace,

 

Mr. Mayer

St. John School is asking for your help in donating water and granola bars for the Dom & Dave Memorial 5k! This race is in memory of Mrs. Bilotta's son and his friend who lost their lives last May in a tragic car accident. We will need about 40 cases of water and 90 boxes of granola bars for the race. These much appreciated donations can be given during the student morning drop off or brought to the school office. 

 

If you would like to register for the race on April 24th, there's still time! It's a family friendly course to run or walk. Come join us and honor the memory of two very special boys!!
