Let us hope that this week brings simpler weather for us. We received a few questions last week about what the school does in the event of severe weather. We drill in the fall and the spring for severe weather and we have a secure, underground space to accommodate the students and staff on campus. We have a severe alert radio and can hear the emergency sirens here on campus. Lastly, we have the ability to reach all staff immediately in the event that relocation to shelter is required.
In the event that winter weather impacts the school day, you will be notified via text, social media, and/or local TV stations. Teachers also send home instructions via email.
Also, please do not forget that the school will be hosting its first OPEN HOUSE of the new year on Sunday, January 29th from 2-4 PM. This is a great time to invite friends to come see what this school has to offer their children. Please help us spread the word about the Open House and about what St. John School has done for your child/children. Word of mouth and personal invites continue to be one of the biggest drivers of enrollment even in this digital age.
Ticket sales for the Cocktails and Kisses Gala on February 18th are now open. See attached flyer for details. Please work with your homeroom parents to get the donations in for the Gala Silent Auction Baskets. Today is the “not later than target”! Please reach out to the SIA Gala Prep team or your homeroom parent if you have any questions.
Lastly, Fr. Linh’s surgery went well this past Thursday and he is recovering. He wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers.
We are ready to race again! Last year’s race was absolutely amazing!! Over 900 family, friends, and community members showed their love and support for our boys; and for that, we are forever grateful. Incredibly, we raised over $45,000 to go towards a scholarship fund that we will be announcing more about soon.
Please join us on Sunday, April 30th at 2pm for the 2nd Annual Dom & Dave Memorial 5k at the Coldstream Park in NW Lexington. We have added a Fun Run this year for kids 10 and under and prize opportunities for the fastest teams. We look forward to seeing everyone again for a fantastic day of running and camaraderie-the perfect way to honor the lives Dom & Dave.
100% of the race proceeds will go to The Dominic Bilotta Memorial Foundation, Inc. which will be used to provide scholarship opportunities in the names of both Dominic and David.
