	Weekly Updates


	February 2020

Greetings,

Welcome back after an exciting Super Bowl Sunday. Last week there were lots of fun activities during Catholic Schools Week and the students had a great time. Congratulations to Adrianna Brinkley and Cade Blankenship for placing at the Fayette County Science Fair! We are very proud of their hard work and effort.

Please consider joining us for the 2^nd annual Ss. Francis & John -St. John School Heart to Heart Dinner/Dance. We will be celebrating Ms. King’s 30 years of dedication to St. John School. Your tickets include appetizers, dinner, drinks, and entertainment. All proceeds go to support St. John Adopt-A-Student Fund. The children are the future of our faith. That is why St. John School and this program are very important to Ss. Francis &John Parish church.

Lastly, as we start open registration this month, please spread the word about the wonderful things happening at our school. Thank you to all our parents and staff who make St. John School such a great place!

God bless and take care,

Dan Mardell
