Last week, Beta Club members created 88 police survival kits to give to the local police department and sheriffs office.
Our 2nd grade class created Leprechaun traps last week. They were amazing!
Principal's Corner
Greetings, Last week was a wonderful reminder of why St. John School is a great place. We had a number of staff out for illness and other reasons, yet the school did not miss a beat. Teachers, students, staff, and parents all pitched in to help so all areas were covered. Thank you so much for all your help! Also, last week marked the return of the book fair for the first time in a long time. I would like to thank all parents who made the book fair and breakfast with books a fantastic success. It was wonderful to see all the parents having breakfast and visiting with each other.
St. John School would like to wish Matt and Kristin Drummond good luck as they advance to the state science fair this weekend. Please remember to bring in your plastic bottles and cans. Everything collected by March 26th is worth double points. We are having a tremendous year with our recycling program, so let's finish strong!
Best wishes for a prayerful Holy Week and Happy Easter!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
