Notes From the Office: January 22nd, 2018

St. John Catholic School Notes From the Office: Monday, January 22nd, 2018         Weekly Updates         January 2018         Greetings, Looks like we have escaped from the "Land of the Frozen Chosen" - at least for the time being. Our mid year testing once again shows our students are growing in their learning. Our teachers work very hard and provide a quality education. This is very important to our school. As a mission of SS. Francis and John Church, our school also does a great job of ensuring that our students are introduced to and practice their faith. The students pray the Rosary and Stations of the Cross, learn about the saints and observe their feast days, attend Mass once a week, and have the opportunity to go to confession. All students have a dedicated religion class using a curriculum approved by the bishops. Our students are well prepared in the knowledge of their Catholic faith. Thank you for all your support and the support of the parish as we celebrate Catholic Schools next week. Let us pray for our students, our families, our teachers and staff, and each other. God bless and take care, Dan Mardell         Here's What's New!!         Parents, please make sure you are checking your child's backpack for paperwork coming home from school.  We have a lot of important events coming up and permission slips to be signed.         Catholic Schools week will begin this Sunday, January 28th at the 10:30 Mass.  Click here to download a copy of all the fun events happening during the week.  We would like everyone to participate in the school wide service project to support foster children in Scott County.         We are looking for parents who want to share their love of St. John School with perspective parents.  Our 1st open house for the 2018-19 school year is scheduled for Sunday, January 28th from 3-5pm.  We need 6 parent volunteers to give tours during this time.  If you are interested in volunteering for this, please email Jennifer Noffsigner at [email protected].           Trivia Night returns!!   Thanks to our sponsor WALTERS TRUCK AND TRAILER!!!!
