St. John Catholic School
Notes From the Office: Monday, October 21st, 2019Weekly Updates October 2019 Greetings, It has been much quieter around campus with our 7th and 8th graders on their Washington DC trip. From all reports I have heard they are having a great adventure. They were even visited by 2 former alumni, Daniel Thayer and Brian Reinhart who are currently living in the DC area as well as a former classmate who moved to Philadelphia. Around here the students continue to work hard on their academics. As we move into the second quarter, please encourage your children to continue their focus and work hard.
This weekend the Cross Country team ended their season at the “Meet of Champions”. Each age group had 300+ runners. Our students all did a great job. Thanks to all the runners and coaches for a great season.
I would like to thank everyone for your help in making St. John School a great place to grow academically and spiritually.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
