St. John Families:

 

Welcome to warp speed!  If you think that the year has been moving quickly, watch what happens when we get to May next week!  Please be sure to keep your eyes on the important dates section down below as that is the best quick reference for as many of the happenings here at SJS.

 

Thanks to all the families that helped support our two great community events this weekend.  Both races were full of smiles and excited runners and made a big financial difference for their causes.  The School House Champions 5K on Saturday was a great success and it was fun to be a part of it with our Scott County friends.  The Dom and Dave Memorial 5K on Sunday was an amazing turnout (over 600 runners/walkers for its first year and over 800 registered).  Your support of water and granola bars were definitely needed to feed the masses that were there.  It was a very moving tribute to Dominic and I know the Bilotta family were very thankful for all the support.

 

Along those same lines, our total CRS Rice Bowl drive turned in $1038 from spare change and bill donations from around your houses.  Coupled with the $569 and two carloads of goods that the school raised for the Kentucky Refugee Ministries with our lay Franciscan partners, it was a pretty successful Lenten season of reaching out to the poor.  Thanks again for all your efforts.

 

Lastly, please do not forget that the students are taking their final MAP tests for this school year.  I emphasized to them this morning the importance of doing well on this round of tests so that we can measure their progress over the year.  I am very optimistic about what they have been able to accomplish in the classroom with their teachers and I hope that the MAP test scores will reflect their efforts and knowledge.  Please encourage them to try hard and that they will do well.

 

Peace,

 

Mr. Mayer
