Weekly Updates
September 2019
Greetings,
I enjoyed seeing everyone at the Cardome Fall Festival this weekend. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the games, music, food, and the games of chance. I would like to thank the festival committee and everyone who helped make this a wonderful event. If you were unable to get to the festival this year, I recommend you come next year. The students were also busy with soccer, cross county, and the Finley 5K this weekend. Just a reminder that we have an early release day on Tuesday. The teachers will be working with all diocesan schools on our curriculum and pacing guides. Have a wonderful week!
St. John school is a great place to grow academically and spiritually!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
Here's What's New!!
Early Release Day September 17th On Tuesday, September 17th, St. John School will have early dismissal at 1 PM. The teachers will be attending curriculum workshops in Lexington with teachers from Catholic schools in our Diocese. We will have after school for those who regularly attend the program. If you are not in after school and this causes a problem with your work schedule, please RSVP to attend after school. The cost for this day will be $20. Even if you normally attend the after school program, please RSVP so we can make sure we have proper supervision. To RSVP, please email [email protected]
St. John Robotics Club
The St. John’s Robotics Club will begin meeting on Sundays from 5-7:00 on September 15th. We will have teams meeting for 3rd-5th graders and for 6th-8th graders this year on a weekly basis on Sunday evenings. We also will be meeting on some Saturdays initially to get a jump start on the building process. Competitions are on Saturdays starting sometime after Nov 1st. Fees will remain at $100 for the fall and $100 for the spring sessions for the 3rd-8th graders.
I hope to have monthly learn and build projects for the K-2nd graders but am still working on this. We will likely meet once a month. Details to follow.
Thank you. I can be contacted with any questions at [email protected]
St. John Spirit Week at Chick-fil-A!!!
Come out to Chick-fil-A the week of Sept.23-28! St. John School will receive a percentage of ALL orders placed through the Chick-fil-A mobile app from the hours of 5-8 PM for the entire week. So order every day if you want, but on Wednesday Sept. 25 we’d love to fill the restaurant with St. John families! This is a great way to enjoy our amazing school community, meet new families, support our school, and show school spirit! Take the night off from cooking and come on out!
Orders MUST be placed using the mobile app! Look for flyers coming home in the office folder next week for full information about the Chick-fil-A mobile app!
Changes for the 2019-2020 Yearbook We have not had any volunteer to be our yearbook coordinators so there will not be a yearbook for the 2019-2020 yearbook.
Cafeteria Volunteers Needed We are in need of volunteers for the cafeteria. You must have safe environment training and a background check to volunteer in the cafeteria. Volunteers are needed Monday - Friday from 10:30-1. If you are willing or able to volunteer on any of those days, please contact the office at [email protected]
Box Tops For Education
Box Tops is changing to fit today's families. The new and improved Box Tops mobile app uses state-of-the-art technology to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to your school's earnings online.
Eventually the Box Tops program will become digital-only. Participating brands are starting to change their packaging from a traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Top label. If you see this label, use the new Box Tops app to scan your receipt. Box Tops are still worth 10¢ each for your school. The app will find participating products purchased at any store and instantly add cash to your school's earnings online.
