8th grade bridge engineering experiment.
Principal's CornerGreetings,
We are off and running toward another great year. As I walk through the classrooms the students are settled, focused, and working hard. St. John School is lucky to have such a dedicated and talented staff that challenges our students. Cross Country is in full swing and soccer is gearing up for another season. I would like to thank everyone who helped out with the festival. The Double Saints Festival is a great cooperative effort between the church and school. Also, I appreciate all the efforts to get the students to school on time. The disruptions have been minimized and this can only enhance student learning.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
