Principal's CornerGreetings,
I hope everyone had a prayerful Easter and an enjoyable spring break. It is hard to believe we are entering our final stretch. We still have much to accomplish academically in order to prepare our students for next year. Also, this time of the year brings exciting activities for the students.
I would like to give a special thanks to all our volunteers. You are such an important part of the success of St. John. In appreciation of all your time and effort, we would like to invite you to join us for some breakfast treats after Mass on Tuesday. Again, all your efforts help make St. John School a fantastic place. Hope to see you undercroft after Mass!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
Here's What's New:
St. John Volunteers
We, as the Saint John School Junior Beta Club, would like to earnestly and sincerely thank you for all that you do around our school. We, as students, would not be able to appreciate and experience our school in the way we currently do were it not for your constant assistance and support. To show our tremendous appreciation of you and your services, we would like to invite you to a volunteer reception in the undercroft on Tuesday, April 14th, directly after Mass. We hope that you will be able to attend, and are truly in your debt for all that you do and have done for us.
Sincerely,
Nathan Mayer,
St. John School Jr. Beta Club President
