The weather cooperated and the turnout for the annual Barn Dance was great! There was lots of great food and comradery. Of course, the highlight was all the children dressed up in costume. I would like to thank Sarah Wilbanks and Charity Ramsey for organizing this wonderful event. I also would like to thank our SIA committee and parents for their help in decorating the barn and providing delicious food. Events like this are a great way to get to know other parents and be part of the St. John School community.
We have a little more than four weeks before Thanksgiving break. This is an important time to stay in a routine and focused. Please make sure your students come on time and ready to learn. Friday is All Saints Day and the children will be attending Mass on Friday. Remember to keep our school and church in your prayers.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
