Notes From the Office: May 4th, 2020

Greetings,

Welcome to the first full week of May! I would like to thank all our students and parents for all their patience and effort while we are in NTI. The teachers have been very complimentary about the students' hard work and effort. Please continue to encourage the children to put in their best effort and turn in their assignments. This is "Teacher Appreciation Week". Please email or give a shout out to your child's teacher and let them know they are appreciated for all their dedication and hard work. This has been a difficult time for them also. They miss the students and will be glad to get back in the classroom. St. John school is lucky to have such a great staff! Lastly, congratulations to Josh Drummond for scoring in the top 10 on the Lexington Catholic Placement Test. This is quite an accomplishment.

God bless and take care,

Dan Mardell

FREE Breakfast and Lunch to children 18 years of age and younger

During this time of uncertainty, the Catholic Diocese Foodservice program would like to do it's part in helping those in need.  We encourage all families in our Catholic Diocese school and parish communities, who are in need of assistance, to take part in this no-cost meal service program for children 18 years of age and younger.   But because this is a pandemic, all children 18 and younger qualify to eat for free.

The Catholic Diocese Foodservice program is committed to doing all that we can to meet the needs of our school and parish community during this unprecedented time. This free meal service will help to ensure the well-being of our children by meeting their nutritional needs, while easing some of the financial burden to families.

Beginning Monday, March 30th, we will start serving a FREE Breakfast and Lunch to children 18 years of age and younger.  It will be served in three of our school/parish parking lots in a meal pick-up service.  Children must be present to claim a meal.  Breakfast service will be served from 8:00-9:00 am and Lunch 11:00-12:00 noon.  Multiple days may be picked up at one time.  The locations of service are Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary School, Lexington, Good Shepherd School, Frankfort, and St Leo Catholic School, Versailles. 

May this mission to empower those in need and bring a community closer together in God.  Please pray for my staff and voluntaries as we begin this challenge.  As St Patrick once said, “May the strength of God pilot us, may the wisdom of God instruct us, may the hand of God protect us, may the word of God direct us. Be always ours this day and evermore.”

Blessings to All
