	Weekly Updates


	November 2019

Greetings,

Although this school week is a short one, there are many exciting things happening. Bishop John, Father Linh, and Mayor Prather had a ceremony at Cardome on Sunday announcing that SS. Francis and John Parish now owns the Cardome property! The next step for us will be getting the church and school moved out to Cardome.

On Tuesday, K – 8^th students will spend the day at Cardome participating in STREAM activities. Please follow the driveway to the front of the Main building and enter the front door. Teachers will be there to direct the students. Early drop off begins at 7:00 am. Drop off and pick up will be at the normal times.

Preschool classes will be held on the St. John campus as usual. There will be no early drop off. Students may be dropped off at 7:30 and dismissal will be at the normal time.

Please note there is no after school care at either location.

I hope everyone has a blessed and restful Thanksgiving!

God bless and take care,

Dan Mardell

P.S. Please spread the word about Igivecatholic on December 3rd. Early giving is open now. This has benefited our school and parish in may ways.
