Notes From the Office: October 26th, 2015

St. John School soccer and cross country teams finished their seasons this weekend. All the athletes worked hard and had many successes. This is another great way that shows "ST. JOHN'S GOT TALENT!" A special congratulation goes to John Reinhart who beat out over 500 runners to claim the title state champion! Several other runners finished in the top 50 in their age divisions which also included 400-500 runners (see results below). Thanks to the coaches of soccer and cross country teams for your time and dedication. Your efforts have definitely enriched the lives of our children.

If you have not returned your school survey, please do so. These surveys are very important for our accreditation process. Remember to attend the VOICE meeting on November 2 ^nd . It would be fantastic if one parent from each family could attend. This is a great opportunity to meet with other parents to discuss the positive things going on and to determine areas where we need to grow. This forum is being sponsored by the school board. Their hope is to gather information that will help guide them in setting a vision for St. John School.

"The St John cross country team ended it's season by competing in the state championship, the Meet of Champions, at Masterson Station Park this past Saturday. Minimal to no rain, a light breeze, mild temperatures -- we were blessed with another beautiful day for running! The boys and girls ran their hearts out in these huge races, each race having approximately 400-500 runners in it!! St John had 5 of its runners place in the top 50 of their race -- this is the most ever! This included Erin Luckett (23rd place in the Middle School), Preston Luckett (50th in 4th grade and under), David Reinhart (16th in 6th grade and under), Dominic Bilotta (25th in 6th grade and under), and John Reinhart. John did something that no other St John CC runner has ever done -- he WON the CC STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, beating approximately 500 other runners to the finish line while running his 2K in 7:34!! We had team scores in 2 of the races: the boys 4th and under team (which included Coen Noble, Ben Mayer, Mark Reinhart, Josh Drummond, Preston, and John) finished 18th out of 38 teams AND the boys 6th and under team (which included Evan Lopez, Max Berry, Alex Mayer, Dominic, and David) finished 24th out of 42 teams! Three of our mighty runners ran for the last time at St John -- Seth Perry, Nicholas Coleman, and Lucy Barry; they did fantastic all year and will be missed! Our awesome returning girls -- Grace Hommrich, Kylie Hargrave, Erin, Kristin Drummond, Maddie Blankenship, Gianna Neaves, and Lillie Fritsch -- ran SUPERBLY, but need your help next year -- they need MORE GIRLS to run so they can score as a team!!!! So come out and run next year AND thanks for cheering the team on this year!! GOOOOO SAINTS!!!"
