St. John School Newsletter
February 7, 2022
St. John Families:
So Catholic Schools Week was shorter than intended, but we still had some fun. There are plans to celebrate the student appreciation day at a later date. Thanks for your help in getting the students to complete their NTI work and make it back to school today.
As current families, you should have received your enrollment packets last Wednesday before the NTI days. These packets should have all the details necessary to re-enroll for the 2022-2023 school year. If you need assistance, be sure to reach out to the school office. Remember that as a current family, you do get this one-week head start on enrolling before we open to the parish at large. Please be quick in getting your registration completed, your registration fee submitted, updating your existing Sycamore account, and your FACTS account.
Our first open house generated a lot of interest and there is another open house planned for this month on Sunday, February 27th from 1-3 PM. Please be sure to be spreading the word about all the great things going on here on the new Cardome Campus. Remind your friends that we have been in-person, share the list of special classes that we offer, offer to them how we get to pray every day and that Christ is at the center of what we do on this campus, and be sure to give them a personal story from what a teacher, family, or other staff member did for you to help you or make you feel welcome.
In the coming weeks, you will begin to see the school's advertisements, but personal testimonials are so effective in helping others to consider St. John School. Thanks in advance for all your efforts to help us build our community in Christ.
Lastly, please pay attention to the chance that you have this spring to be healthy and to build and support our community. Even If you have not been around St. John School that long, you know that running is a big deal to us and you know how important the Bilotta family is to us. On April 23 and 24, you have two great chances to show your support and be healthy at the same time! Please help us show what a great community of love we have here and register to participate or make a donation to support these two great events. The School House Champions 5K is on Saturday and supports schools in Georgetown, including St. John School. And new this year, the DOM and DAVE Memorial 5K is on Sunday at the beautiful Legacy Trail (just a few minutes away from Georgetown). I cannot think of a better way to spend a nice spring afternoon than together with friends supporting two awesome causes!
Peace to you all,
Mr. Mayer
