Weekly Updates
September 2017
Greetings,
I hope everyone had a chance to get out and enjoy the nice weather this past weekend. It was a little warm, but it was great weather for the “Double S Stampede.” The St. John’s K- 3
rd Boys team finished second and brought home a nice trophy. Also, Dominic Bilotta and John Reinhart finished first in their divisions. Congratulations to everyone who ran with great spirit and determination. Thank you to all the coaches and parents who made this event a great success. Please read below for all the results.
Mid–terms go home today. If you have any questions or concerns about grades please contact your child’s teacher. Also, please make sure you sign the mid-term and return it to the homeroom teacher
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell

Registration forms with fee information are available in the school office or on the school website.

Cross Country News
Our harriers had the task of "defending our home turf" at our own Double S Stampede this past weekend at the Newtown Pike property. . . . . and they all succeeded in our mission! On a hotter day than most over the past 2 weeks, they all ran very well! Of the runners who ran the exact same course last year, Dominic Bilotta, David Reinhart, Kristin Drummond, John Reinhart, Gianna Neaves, Mark Reinhart, Coen Noble, Ben Mayer, Raeburn Taylor, and Griffin Hughes all improved their times significantly!! Top 30 finishes included Dominic (ANOTHER FIRST PLACE finish -- he has not lost this year!), David (5th place), Kristin (27th), John (1st place), Gianna (21st), Mark (5th place), Coen (14th), Ben (15th), Kieran Graham (16th), and Raeburn (18th). The K-3rd Boys ran with great spirit and GOT SECOND PLACE and a nice trophy -- congrats boys!! The members of this award winning boys team were Mark, Coen, Ben, Kieran, Raeburn, Griffin Hughes, Owen Graham, William Gordley, and Bentley Korthuis. The Saints race next in 2 weeks in Frankfort at the Archives course -- this is relatively close and an easy place to cheer them on!
I also wanted to express a big THANK YOU to all of our great parents who volunteered at the meet on Saturday! They were there early and stayed as long as needed; this exciting meet and endeavor with Scott Co. could not have been done without all of their awesomeness! This is just another example of what makes St John so special!
