Weekly Updates
September 2018
Greetings,
I hope you are enjoying the break from the heat with this cool weather! The students are excited to be out of uniform for picture day. MAP testing is over except for makeup tests and all the classes did well. Remember, MAP test gives us a snapshot of where the students are performing and helps guide our instruction. School is rolling along and the students are working hard. Thank you for your help in making St. John School the best! Please spread the word because that is one of our best recruiting tools.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell

Cross Country Update
The St John cross country season has gotten off to a great start! We have 27 very dedicated and talented students running this 2018 season and they have gotten off to a flying start! 3 races have been run to date: the Archives on Aug 29th, the Grant County Invitational on Sept 1st, and the Bluegrass CC Invitational this past weekend at Masterson Station Park in Lexington. Overall, we have a younger team, but our 7 seventh graders -- Maddie Blankenship, Josh Drummond, Joey Laco, Nathan Kovach, Charlie Comer, Taylor Crump, and John Reinhart -- are leading the way well and improving meet by meet! The younger folks are running fast, highlighted by a 2nd place team finish for the 4th and under boys at the Archives meet!! We have 7 first year runners this year -- Cabrini Neaves, Eleanor Gordley, Ian Conklin, Maura Laco, Tess Laco, Kate Laco, and Lilly Dozer -- and they are exceeding expectations so far! This coming week, we host our home meet with Scott Co at Scott County Park; we start racing at 10:45 -- please come out and cheer on your fellow classmates!!
Middle School Girls Basketball Team
We are sending out an early notice to gauge the interest level in 6th-8th grade for a girls basketball team. There wasn’t enough interest last year for a team and we hope the interest is there this year to play in the Lexington parochial league. Practice does not start until November. Please let Lisa Case know if your daughter would like to play. You can email Lisa at [email protected].
