One of my favorite things to do as a principal is to observe what is going on in the classroom. There are many exciting and challenging activities happening in the rooms. The students are engaged and working hard. Our teachers are working very hard to provide a great education for your children. Please come by and visit our classrooms.
Our winter sports season is winding down. Both the teams had a great season and were very competitive. Our 7th/8th grade boys ended with a 9-5 record and the 5th/6th grade boys ended with a 10-2 record.
We also had three robotics teams that participated in the state meet on Saturday. These are just a few of the extracurricular activities at St. John School.
Please help spread the word about the good things happening at St. John School. We have found that word of mouth is one of our bet recruiting tools for enrollment.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
