Principal's CornerGreetings,
I would like to thank everyone for bringing your children to our school Mass on Sunday. It was so great to see the children worshiping and participating together in the Mass. Awhile back, a man visiting our parish told me how nice it was to see so many young people at church and that in his parish this was not the case. We are truly blessed to have such a vibrant parish. We must not forget that the youth are the future of our Catholic Church!Thank you for all your help in making St. John School a great and important part of Ss.Francis and John Parish.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell

Spring Clean Up!
This coming Saturday March 28th starting at 9:00am we will be having our "Spring Clean Up" at St John church and school. We will be trimming bushes and pruning back limbs, raking up dead leaves, spreading new mulch, mowing grass and edging the sidewalks as we beautify the grounds in preparation of Easter. Many hands are needed. Men, women and children are welcome...the more the merrier. Hopefully, with enough help we can be done by noon. Please email or call Tom Johnson if you plan on helping.

We, as the Saint John School Junior Beta Club, would like to earnestly and sincerely thank you for all that you do around our school. We, as students, would not be able to appreciate and experience our school in the way we currently do were it not for your constant assistance and support. To show our tremendous appreciation of you and your services, we would like to invite you to a volunteer reception in the undercroft on Tuesday, April 14th, directly after Mass. We hope that you will be able to attend, and are truly in your debt for all that you do and have done for us.
Sincerely,
Nathan Mayer,
St. John School Jr. Beta Club President
