Greetings,
I was thinking about all the wonderful things that happened at St. John School the week before Easter and thought I would share a few of them.- St. John students collected over $1000 for the rice bowl fund.
- Our third and fourth grade collected and delivered over 250 pounds of food to the Amen House. They also delivered clothes.
- Our school collected and counted over 2500 cans and bottles in one week for our recycling program.
- The first and second graders put together Easter baskets that were delivered to UK Children's Hospital.
- The sixth and seventh graders raked leaves and picked up trash around the school and church before Holy Week.
- The Notre Dame College pep band and cheerleaders performed a rousing program for our students.
- Our students did a beautiful performance of the Passion Play on Good Friday. Several grades provided music and a great song using hand bells.
All the while, the teachers and students were focused and on task. Our students do a great job providing service in helping the school, parish, community, and environment. St. John School is a great place and with your help we will continue to get even better.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
