St. Nicholas stopped by the school this morning for a quick visit with some of the kids.
Our 5th - 8th grade students did a wonderful job on their Science Fair projects. The winners will be announced after Mass tomorrow.
The 8th grade students went to Georgetown College to participate in a science lab with Dr. Sheridan.
Principal's Corner
Greetings,
Last Friday, St. John School held its annual science fair for grades five through eight. I would like to thank the Georgetown College students, from the science department, who took time from their busy schedules to judge the projects. Also, I would like to thank the parishioners who helped judge. They were amazed by some of the work of our students. I also heard many positive comments from the parents and parishioners who viewed the projects.
Lastly, I enjoyed visiting with everyone who came to "Breakfast with Santa." The Knights of Columbus and Galvin's did a fantastic job putting this event together for families of the parish and community. As we go through the busy activities of Christmas, please remember to keep Advent and the coming of Jesus a priority!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
