The students are excited as we prepare for our Epiphany Concert to be performed Tuesday evening. We are expecting a good crowd, so please fill in the pews as much as possible. We need to keep all the aisles and back of the church clear so the children can enter and exit. I hope to see you there!
Congratulations to our fifth/sixth basketball team! They won on Saturday and remain undefeated in the Catholic League. The eighth grade lost a close, hard fought game and the girls team had a bye week. Lastly, our 7 to 9 year old St. John team won the YMCA championship on December 15th.
We start MAP testing next week. This assessment is one method we use to determine how your child is progressing this school year.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
Here's What's New!!
Join us for our Epiphany Concert on Tuesday, January 8th, at St. John Church, at 6:30pm. ALL students are expected and encouraged to participate. We have been preparing diligently for this event, and I am so excited to share your children’s excitement and talent with you! They have been working hard and having musical “epiphanies” these past several weeks - the Advent and Christmas season adds to the cheer and joy as we look forward to the new year! Ms. Staub
SS. Francis & John Parish and St. John School will be hosting a night of dining, dancing, and fun. The evening festivities include a concert by our own Hannah Staub, along with a raffle and silent auction. The theme of our night together is Heart to Heart: Adopt-a-Student - A Gift of Love. This event will be a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the spirit of giving so prevalent in our parish.
In addition, we will have the opportunity to celebrate a man who embodies this spirit of giving; a man who has given his life to serve others, and to nurture and hand on the Catholic faith through the mission of his priesthood and the catechesis of young Catholics for more than 50 years: Fr. Bob Nieberding.
Please come and celebrate with us on February 9th at Cardome Centre as we honor Fr. Bob, and join in a community celebration to support the vital mission of education and evangelization. Click here to download an order form for the dinner. Click here to download a raffle ticket order form. You can turn the forms in to the school or parish office with checks made payable to St. John School. Dinner tickets are $50 per person and raffle tickets are $20 each.

Dear Parents,
Our school will be participating in the SchoolStore program this year. This online program helps our school earn cash without students selling door-to-door, collecting money or delivering products. Over 400 merchants, including Best Buy, Target and WalMart, have joined together to offer up to 50% of sales to our school for shopping through SchoolStore.com.
To shop and support our school, simply go to www.schoolstore.com and select our school.
Participation is key in helping get the word out about our School Store. In January your child will come home with a parent packet requesting you to help them enter email addresses to friends and family. When you enter just 3 email addresses you'll receive a prize code your child can return the next day for a prize. Thank you for your families support of our school
