Notes From the Office: November 4th, 2019

St. John Catholic School Notes From the Office: Monday, November 4th, 2019         Weekly Updates         November 2019         Greetings,  Congratulations to St.John School alumnus Jasmine Morgan and Kristin Drummond for finishing first and second in the Diocesan Right to Life Creative Writing Contest. Also, congratulations to  Jessica Armentano, seventh grade student at St. John School. She won second place in the media arts division. These students were recognized by Bishop John at the Right to Life Mass. St. John students and alumnus rock!!!! Cross county wrapped up another fantastic year. I would like to thank Todd Reinhart, Brent Mayer, and Meghan Graham for a great job coaching the runners. Basketball practices begin shortly. All the extra programs such as sports, robotics, STREAM club, and many others would not be possible without all the wonderful volunteers at our school. We have some exciting things coming up at St. John School. On Tuesday, November 26th, St. John School will be holding a STREAM conference in conjunction with our annual science fair. This will be held at Cardome and there are many great things scheduled. Also, the St. John Christmas musical will be held on Tuesday, December 10th, at St. John Church. Please read more about these and other items in the notes below. With the holiday season approaching, please remember our main focus should be on helping our students grow academically and spiritually. Please help us out by getting your students here on time (in the classroom and ready to go by 7:50 am) and encouraging them to put forth their best effort in school. I appreciate all your help in making our school the best! Great thought from Winston Churchill - taken from Sunday's bulletin: We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.   God bless and take care, Dan Mardell         Here's What's New!!         VOLLEYBALL--CAN YOU DIG IT? All girls in grades 4-8 are invited to come find out! Coach Mayer (you know him as a cross country coach) will be teaching a volleyball clinic for St. John School and is looking for girls that want to play volleyball. Time commitment right now looks like once a week for several weeks. Parents/guardians please contact [email protected] to let Coach know of your child's interest by Nov. 11th and then there will be more information sent out to those who are interested.     All students in grades K-8 will be dropped off at Cardome on this day.  There will be NO AFTER SCHOOL.  All students MUST be picked up at Cardome at 2:55PM.   Preschool students will still be dropped off and picked up at St. John School.  There will be NO AFTER SCHOOL for preschool students either on this date.  More information to come in the weeks ahead.     St. John Pack 167 would like to invite you and your family to celebrate our heroes at our 4th Annual Veterans Assembly!
