Notes From the Office: September 18, 2023

September 18, 2023

St. John Families:

Short message this week.  PENNY WARS ARE HERE!!!  Empty out the change bucket, the couch, the cupholder in the car, or whatever spot is cluttered with change.  See the details below, but we are off to a great start to the week.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO GET THOSE RAFFLE TICKETS SOLD to support us with the Fall Fest fundraising.  Thanks for helping us with the biggest fundraising event for the school and parish.  If you want to get involved in other ways with the festival, don’t forget that it starts with the Trunk-or-Treat!

Lastly, we will be starting signups for the parochial basketball leagues very soon.  If you are looking to get involved with coaching a boys or girls team, please reach out to the office and we will have someone call you to talk about what is required.

Peace,

Mr. Mayer

Thank you for our Choir Students

Dear Singers, Students, and Families of St. John's,

       First, thank you so much for being a part of the Catholic education at St. John's and for choosing to send your children to a Catholic School. It is such an honor and a privilege to share the joy of music with your children every week.

     I am so proud of our students, especially those who have chosen to participate in choir when we have the School Mass on Tuesdays. We had a record number of students sing last week at 33 (thirty-three), and I hope we continue to have such great engagement and enthusiasm for music!

     Music is such a vital part of our Catholic culture and our faith. The Holy St. Augustine once said that music was so important that "to sing is to pray twice." Please keep encouraging your students to sing and participate.

     Thank you parents, again, and thank you students for helping to make St. John's great by lifting your voices in song!

         We Proceed on!!

                Mr. Brusoe

2023 Focus Forward Conference

Dear Parents,
The Diocese of Lexington is once again partnering with Focus Forward to provide the 2023 Focus Forward Conference. We are excited to give our families and faculty the opportunity to get the support you need with students who have ADHD and learning differences from the experts.
The Conference will be offered in two ways this year.
• Virtual Conference (Friday, Oct 20, 2023) FREE (Plus an Optional Updgrade)Online Conference Platform

You have the opportunity to meet 8 experts in the field of ADHD and learning differences to help you understand your student’s struggles. Each speaker has been selected to help in many areas of ADHD and learning difference including Nutrition, Sensory Develpoment, Anxiety, Play Development, Dyslexia, Attention and Behavior, and Understanding ADHD.
• In-Person Conference (Saturday, Oct 21, 2023) Limited to 100 People
Good Shepard Catholic School, Frankfort This is an expansion of the Virtual Conference. After you understand the struggles, this will then put everything learned into practice. Everyone who attends will work in small groups with an expert coach to develop apersonalized plan to help your student be successful with their current struggles. Everyone will walk away knowing their next steps. Local resources will be available to ensure you have all the tools you need. This is for both parents and a separate section for faculty.
Below is the link to register for the conference today. A portion of proceeds of the conference will be donated to the Catholic Education Opportunities Foundation (CEOF) which directly supports our Catholic Schools with students’ tuition assistance. 50% of proceeds of the in-person conference will go to our host school.
