Principal's Corner
Greetings,
I hope everyone had a great fall break. The staff and students have been working extremely hard and this break was well deserved. It is hard to believe the first quarter ends in two weeks. Please encourage your children to do their best and finish the quarter strong. Our fall sports are winding down and will finish in the next couple weeks. As always, I would like to thank everyone for their help in making St. John School such a great place.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
