Weekly Updates
January 2017
Greetings,
I hope everyone had a great Martin Luther King Holiday weekend. The weather Monday was beautiful and it was nice to get outside. MAP testing is going well and the students are working hard. I had a chance to see the fourth grade Kentucky projects before they were taken to the museum for display. They were very interesting and well done - excellent job fourth graders! Please keep everyone at St. John School in your prayers as we move forward with plans for an exciting future at Cardome.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
Here's What's New!!
Parents please make sure your student has a good nights sleep and eats a healthy breakfast on their MAP test day. Also, try not to schedule any doctor appointments on the day your child tests.
