Notes From the Office: November 7th, 2022

St. John School Newsletter

November 7th, 2022

St. John Families:

November is off to a great start!  We still have a few boys that need help to remember that shorts are no longer allowed during the school day as the uniform bottom.  I suggested that they put their school shorts away at home so that only their school pants are an option when they are getting dressed in the morning!

As we inch closer to Thanksgiving, keep in mind that we will be launching our iGiveCatholic campaign to support the school on Giving Tuesday (November 29th).  Be on the lookout for this year’s project to support, funding target, and ways to give!

Cheerleading has started and last week was the first practice.  Contact Tiffany Cox ([email protected])  if you missed the signups (or reach out to the school office) because there is still room for more students to get involved.

Peace,
