Principal's Corner
Greetings,
This is the second week back and the students have quickly settled into the school mode. The second round of MAP testing begins this week. Please make sure your children are rested and have a good breakfast. Congratulations to our basketball teams this weekend. All of the Saint John's teams won. Enrollment for the 2015 - 2016 year begins in February. As parents, you are our greatest recruiting tool. Please spread the word about all the great things happening at our school.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
