Preschool pajama party!

Principal's CornerGreetings,
God must be watching over St. John School. Considering all the snow and cold of the "Big Chill of 2015", our old buildings and trailers survived with minimal problems.. As I walked around the classrooms this morning it was so good to hear the chatter and laughter of our students. The teachers were ready to teach and the students were ready to learn. Once again, it quickly reminded me that we are truly blessed to have such a great school and parish.
Thanks to everyone who helped shovel the church and school grounds last week. Your effort helped the school get back on track without any problems. Also, I would like to thank Tom Johnson and Mike Parker for their help in keeping our buildings heated during the cold. Please remember to send warm jackets, hats, and gloves because it is going to be freeeezzzing this week!!!!!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
