Greetings,
Catholic Schools Week gave us a chance to celebrate our school, students, teachers, parents, and parish family. The students had a good time and should be ready to settle back into the school routine. Overall the winter MAP testing results were positive and they gave us an idea of things we need to improve. I enjoyed visiting with many of you at the gala. Thank you to those who worked so hard to make this a special event. I would also like to thank the Knights of Columbus for their help with bingo last Friday. The events of this week remind me that we truly have great school and parish community. I am excited about the future potential of our school. With your continued support, St. John will grow and shine as a valuable mission of St. Francis & John Church.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
PS - Congratulations to our basketball teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's What's New:
Registration for the 2015-2016 School year
Registration paperwork was sent home on Friday to all students. Please ask your student for this information if you did not receive it on Friday. Registration opens to parishioners on 2/9 and to the community on 2/17. The registration fee is due when you turn your form in. The registration fee for current families increases to $200 if received after 2/17.
2015 Winter Gala
Thank you to all who helped make this years gala a success. We could not have done it without numerous volunteers!
Valentine Candy Grams It is that time of year again. Beta Club will be selling Valentine Grams. Orders will be accepted February 2nd-13th. We will start delivery on Tuesday February 10th-13th. All funds raised goes to support our school and community.
Spring Athletics
It's time to think about Spring Sports which will be starting in March.
Soccer Updates: Since we are playing in the YMCA League this year, they run their Fall/Spring Leagues differently than we are used to. The Spring season was not included in the Fall fees and so we will need to send in more money per player. If your child will be playing Spring Soccer please email coach Ramsey with verification at
[email protected] and send in the Spring Registration fee of $65 for U8 and $72 for U10. This is due by Monday, February 9th. If you are looking to sign up for the first time, the registration fee is $100 and the athletic forms need to be submitted as well. Please contact Chris as well and he will send you the proper forms. I apologize for the financial confusion, next year we will know and adjust the fees to include both seasons.
Golf This Spring
If anyone is interested in coaching the golf team this year please contact Joanne Andres at [email protected] as soon as possible. Golf will start in April the week after Spring Break and meet once a week for six weeks ending the week before school is out. I need a coach to take the older students to different courses each week to play 9 holes by walking the courses.
Athletic Jackets
Joanne Andres will be placing another Athletic Jacket order in two weeks, if you are interested in the jacket/pants please fill out an order form and return it to the office by
February 13th.
