	St. John Catholic School Notes From the Office: Monday, February 26th, 2018


	Greetings, Hooray! There were no absences or tardies this morning, and even the sun made an appearance. Attendance is very essential to your child's education, so great job getting everyone here!. Our students (and parents) had a weekend of activities. The robotics team participated in a competition at UK Engineering Day, and our basketball teams were all playing in the league tournament. Lastly, we had several students advance to state in the Knights of Columbus free throw contest. Once I get the results, I will announce them. This time of the school year is very important. The teachers are covering a lot of new material and preparing the students for next year. I would would like to thank all the parents and volunteers for their help and support. You are truly part of St. John School "heart and soul!" God bless and take care, Dan Mardell P.S. John Squires won the Pinewood Derby event this past Saturday at Cardome with his car traveling at 270 mph down the track with an average time of 3.07 seconds!

	Dear Parents, This past week, the St. John School Beta Club completed its annual Candy Grams fundraiser. We are happy to report that the fundraiser was a huge success! Therefore, the Beta Club would like to thank all of you for supporting and participating in this fundraiser. Candy Grams are very important to the Beta Club because the money we receive is used to finance service projects for next year. With such a big turnout this year, the Beta Club will be able to fund more service projects that will help our community in the future. Again, thank you for all of your support! Sincerely, The St. John School Beta Club
