I hope you had a chance to visit the St. John Art Show last week. It is always great to see the students’ talent in art. I would like to thank Ms. Moore for all her hard work putting together this tremendous show. The hours of work put into this are incredible. Also, Ms. Moore would not have been able to put this show together without all the help of our parents and parishioners. I would like to thank everyone for doing such a great job!
Please remind your children to stay focused and continue working hard! They have done a great job this year.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell

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!”
