Notes From the Office: August 11th, 2014

Greetings,

The excitement is back at St. John School. The teachers are ready and the school is clean. It was great to see everyone at orientation. I am really looking forward to the start of school on Wednesday. There will be a few changes. The playground / parking lot will be repaved and this will really enhance the look of our school. Also, Josh Smith will be leaving to teach at the International School of Egypt. Mr. Smith has done an excellent job with our music and band programs. We will miss his presence on our campus. Please keep Josh in your prayers as he embarks on this new journey. Lastly, keep St. John School and SS. Francis and John Parish in your prayers.

God bless and take care,

• If our parking lot is still closed on Wednesday, please park in the Georgetown College gravel lot or the Georgetown gym parking lot. You will have to walk your students down to St. John. Please be patient until our lot is finished.
• Our first school mass will be held on Friday, August 15th. Your child does not have to wear their mass uniform on this day.

Here's What's New:

Festival Basket Update

Thank you to all the SJS Parents who have graciously contributed to the baskets for the Festival. We collected an amazing amount of goodies at Orientation. If you forgot to bring your donation to Orientation, please send it in with your child the first day of school. We will be putting the baskets together the end of this week. Again thanks for all the wonderful help! The baskets are going to look really great.
