Notes From the Office: December 5th, 2016

St. John Catholic School Notes From the Office: Monday, December 5th, 2016         Weekly Updates         December 2016         Greetings, The Christmas season is definitely upon us at the parish and school. Every morning, the students start the day by lighting the candles on the Advent wreath and saying an Advent prayer. This weekend, St. John School entered a wonderful float in the parade and the Knights of Columbus held their annual “Breakfast with Santa” at Galvins. Everyone who attended these events had a great time. This week, the school is holding their Christmas program at Cardome. The students have been working hard, and it looks to be a tremendous program. Thank you to everyone who helped with these events. Activities like this make our parish and school all the more special. As I was reminded by the homily in church on Sunday, please remember to take time this week to sit quietly, and find the peace of Jesus in your hearts. God bless and take care, Dan Mardell         Here's What's New!!         Mark your calendars for the SJS Christmas Program on Tuesday, December 6th in the Cardome Chapel at 6:00pm!  A fun night of great musical numbers to put you into the Christmas Spirit!  For more information, please contact Marleda Upton at [email protected].           On Thursday, December 8th, all students need to wear their Mass uniform to school.  We will be attending Mass at 8:30 am.          Click here to download a copy of the St. John School basketball schedule.         St Francis and John's third annual Advent Calendars are here!
