Weekly Updates
February 2017
Greetings,
It is hard to believe that the third quarter is coming to a close on March 3. The students are doing a good job in the classroom. Last week, I spent a great deal of time in the classrooms evaluating teachers.The staff of St. John School is very talented and they work very hard. I am constantly amazed at what I am seeing in the classrooms. Please remember that your are welcome to visit the classroom anytime. Just check in the office and we will bring you to the rooms.
Our students were very busy all weekend. The robotics teams spent Saturday at UK for Engineering Day. The basketball teams were all involved in tournament play. The season ended for our 5/6 grade boys and 7/8 grade girls. These teams battled hard all season. However, the 7/8 boys basketball team won both their games and advance to the next round. I want to thank all the coaches for their dedication and work with the students. Being a former middle school coach for many years, I understand it is not always an easy job! I would also like to thank the parents for the many hours spent hauling the students to practice and games - not always an easy task!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
