Greetings, Congratulations to our eighth graders as they graduate this week. They are a tremendously talented group and will be missed at St. John School. Also, congrats to Mike Drummond, a St. John alum, who was Salutatorian for the 2018 - 19 class at Lexington Catholic. The students had great weather for our annual field day on Friday. They have worked hard all year and certainly enjoyed the day of fun and comradery. Parents, I appreciate all your help to make St. Jon School a better place!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
PS - I would appreciate if all tuition and after school bills are paid by the end of May. That way we can pay our bill and close the books for this school year. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Cross Country News
As the school year comes closer to its end, summer is quickly approaching. Summer means sun, fun, and of course ............ more chances to RUN!! The St. John cross country season will begin on Monday, July 30, at Scott County Park! For you returning runners, especially middle schoolers, it’s time to start thinking about getting some miles on our legs; it’s very important to come into this season in shape in order to get the most out of the season! For those of you who have not tried cross country, now is a great time to think about it and take that leap of faith! It is an extremely fun team and individual sport that is open to all St. John students from grades one through eight. All you need is a pair of running shoes and a great attitude!
Please let me know if you are interested or if you have questions, especially if you have questions on what the run and how to get in shape this summer. My email address is [email protected] and phone number is 606-669-1230. Hope to see a lot of old and new faces come July!”
