Principal's CornerGreetings,
I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend. The pace is beginning to pick up at St. John School. Supplies and books are coming in to the office, rooms are being painted, and plans are being reviewed for next year. I am looking forward to a great year!
Every spring our fifth and eighth grade students are given an assessment over their religious education from the National Catholic Education Association. The results show that our students are receiving an excellent education about their faith. Great job students and religion teachers! We will publish specific details at a later date.
Please don't forget to do your part with bingo. Summer is an especially tough time with vacations. If you are not able to work please call a sub or switch with someone. It is our largest fundraiser and really helps to keep the cost of our tuition down.Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for all their help around our school. The success of our school is a result of a supportive parish, wonderful students, excellent teachers and staff, and great families!God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell

For those new to the sport, we practice from 6-7:00 PM on Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday, and Thursday at the park.
