I hope you had a prayerful Lent and a wonderful Easter. Last week, I had a chance to visit the classrooms during the speech contest and listen to some of the students speeches. The topics were well researched and presented. The judges were very impressed. Also, congratulations to Max Berry. He was recognized for scoring very high on Lexington Catholic test that all incoming freshman complete. He ranked above the 98 percentile nationally and had one of the top ten scores for the freshmen class entering Lexington Catholic. Lastly, two students from last year's class were chosen to represent Lexington Catholic in the Algebra portion of a large statewide math competition! Congratulations to Kristin Drummond and David Reinhart for their fantastic job. These are just a few examples that show we have a great school with fantastic students and teachers!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
Here's What's New!!
It’s Kite Festival Time!!
MORE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!Please check your calendars and see if you can help. Even if it’s only for an hour or two, or if the time you have available doesn’t line up with one of the listed shifts, all help is welcome!!
St. John School is once again hosting our face-painting and kite-building booth at Georgetown’s Kite Festival and we need your help! This year’s kite festival is being held April 27-28, 12:00-5:00 P.M., and it’s a fantastic way for St. John School to be out in the community and to show off what amazing kids we have and what a great place we are! We need both student and parent volunteers to cover four shifts in total, two 2.5 hour shifts over each of the two days. This is a great chance for Beta Club members (or older siblings in high school) to earn service hours!
