Middle School Skyzone field trip!

Recipes from Latin America
Field day and egg drop fun!
Principal's Corner
Greetings,
We could not have asked for a better day to have our annual field day. While the middle school ventured to Sky Zone for a morning of bouncing on trampolines, the rest of the school enjoyed inflatables and various games. Then we all came together to watch the egg drop at Georgetown College. The students had some great designs and many landed their egg without a scratch after dropping from them from the top of the firetruck ladder. However, I must admit the ones that splattered received the loudest cheers from the students. We ended the afternoon with several school wide relays, tug-o-war, and water balloon toss. By the end of the day the students were tired, but finished with big smiles. I want to thank all the parents who helped organize this special day. Without your help, field day would not have run so smoothly. Also, I would like to thank the Georgetown Fire Department for bringing their fire engine to use for the egg drop.
I would like to congratulate our St. John alumni who received recognition at the Lexington Catholic Academic Awards Banquet:
- Manda Bwerevu - Lexington Singers' Outstanding Vocalist Award
- Drew Pungratz - National School Choral Award which is the highest honor school choral performers can receive.
- Michaela Reinhart - The Lee McGrath Service Award which is given to a Junior girl who embodies Christ's call to "Love One Another" through Christian service to the poor, hungry, homeless, and those in our community who are in need.
- Nathan Mayer (Freshman), Brian Reinhart (Freshman), Matt Drummond (Sophomore), and Michaela Reinhart (Junior) were recognized by the Academic Booster Scholars for excellence in the classroom by being among the top ten students in their class based on cumulative GPA.
- Michaela Reinhart and Brian Reinhart received the Boy and Girl of the Year Award. This Award is presented to students selected by the faculty, who epitomize the values of Christianity, integrity, reliability, motivation, hard work, and commitment to God , family, school, and community.
I am certain there are former St. John students who will receive awards from Scott County or other high schools as the school year closes. Please let us know if your former St. John student was recognized at high school this year!
Only one more week, so let's make it a great one. Remind your children to "work hard, play hard, and pray hard!"
*****Fantastic Job St.John School & SS. Francis and John Parish !!!!!
PepsiCo Recyling has notified us that we recently finished 14th nationally in their Annual Collection Contest. With this comes a prize of $2000 to be used on any type of Green Project or Improvement. This contest is a great way to help us be good stewards of God's environment and falls right in line with the mission of our school and church. I would like to give a special thanks to Bill Hulette for all his hard work and dedication with our recycling program. He is the heart and soul of this program at St. John School. Lastly, thank you to everyone who helped by bringing in or counting the cans and bottles.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell

End Of Year Reminders
Just a reminder that all student accounts must be paid in full by the end of the year. These fees include lunch, tuition, after school, athletics and any other fees you owe. Please take care of these as soon as possible so we can close out our books for this school year. Our policy requires that we hold report cards and transcripts until all accounts are paid in full. Thank you for your prompt attention in this matter.
