Principal's Corner
Greetings,
Can you believe at the end of this week we will be half way through the school year? I had the opportunity to watch our 7th and 8th grade basketball teams compete this weekend. The games were exciting!! If you haven't seen our students play, I urge you to get out and support them. Also, our cheerleaders did a great job supporting our teams.
The school has jumped off to a great start participating in "Year of Mercy" activities. First, the student wrote Christmas cards for women in prison (Spanish and English). Next, they collected money for material to build houses in Haiti. The Water Project supported by our Middle School was completed last week in Kenya, and will serve 236 children at a primary school. Lastly, the fifth through eighth graders will be caroling at the Active Day. Way to go St. John students!!!!!!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for making the first semester a fantastic one. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
