Cross Country
Principal's CornerGreetings,
Many of our St. John families were busy this weekend with cross county, soccer, softball, and baseball. I would like the thank everyone that helps with our athletic programs. These programs provide a great opportunity for our students. I would also like to thank the students, parents, and Ms.Upton who took some time out of their busy schedule to perform a few songs at the Cardome Alumni Reunion. The ladies were very impressed by our students. St. John School is very appreciative of the generous support of the Cardome Alumni for our adopt- a- student program. Have a great week!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
Here's What's New:
Important Reminder
Please have your child in their classroom by before 7:50. With all the after school / weekend activities and cooler weather it is very tempting to spend a few extra minutes in our warm beds. However, when students come in tardy it is disruptive for the students and teachers who are working. Please review our tardy policy in the school handbook. Thank you for all your help in this matter.Middle School Service Project
The middle school is starting a two week service project on Monday, September 15. The students will be collecting shoes to donate to WaterStep. WaterStep will then use these shoes to sell to make money to dig wells and send waterballs to people who do not currently have access to safe drinking water. Shoes that are unable to be sold will be recycled! Any shoes can be used: old lawn mowing shoes, high heels, outgrow shoes, shoes that aren't comfortable, or shoes you just don't use anymore! The 6th, 7th, 8th grade students will have a container at the entrance of the elementary building, the 3rd/4th grade building and the 5/8th grade building. Shoes may be dropped into the boxes labelled "WaterStep" anytime before school. Collection will end on Tuesday, September 30. Students have learned about the organization, how they bring water to thirsty people, how waterballs help, and how water is needed during emergencies. They have learned about the water crisis worldwide and in the United States, but they have also learned how they can be part of the solution! The students are excited about giving drink to the thirsty! To learn more, check out www.waterstep.org/Georgetown College Math Circle for elementary students, registration now open
Registration is now open for the fall 2014 Georgetown College Math Circle (GCMC) program for fifth-grade through eighth-grade students residing in the central Kentucky counties of Bourbon, Fayette, and Scott who hold a strong interest in mathematics and are eager to learn more. Free to attendees, math circles are group meetings led by mathematical scientists who, in engaging and interactive ways, share their world of mathematics with pre-college students. The goal is to get students excited about mathematics in a friendly, relaxed, non-threatening environment. Beginning October 19, Circles will meet Sunday afternoons from 2:30 to 3:45 on campus in Asher Science Center, which houses the College's Natural and Life Sciences Division (Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Departments). The six week program continues through November 23. For additional information, including downloadable enrollment forms, interested parents are encouraged to check the Georgetown College Math Circle website.
