Notes From the Office: Monday, August 21st, 2017Weekly Updates August 2017 Greetings,
It has been a very smooth start to the school year. I have already heard many positive things about our students and teachers. Everyone at St. John is gearing up for the eclipse. I have seen some excellent presentations about solar eclipses in several classrooms. Also, please read the Q&A inserts in the bulletin or online at the parish website to keep up with what is happening with the future of our church, school, and Cardome. As always, please contact me with any concerns or questions.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
