Notes From the Office: May 26th, 2020

Greetings,

This has certainly been a unique ending to our school year. Two thoughts that keep running through my mind are to keep persevering and stay positive. Our teachers,students, and parents have worked very hard to provide a quality education despite the many challenges. As the year winds down, the focus shifts to planning for a safe and challenging education for our students. Thank you very much for your support and dedication to St. John Catholic School. Please pray for each other,  and our church and school leaders as we plan for the future of our fantastic school!

God bless and take care,

Dan Mardell

FREE Breakfast and Lunch to children 18 years of age and younger

During this time of uncertainty, the Catholic Diocese Foodservice program would like to do it's part in helping those in need.  We encourage all families in our Catholic Diocese school and parish communities, who are in need of assistance, to take part in this no-cost meal service program for children 18 years of age and younger.   But because this is a pandemic, all children 18 and younger qualify to eat for free.

The Catholic Diocese Foodservice program is committed to doing all that we can to meet the needs of our school and parish community during this unprecedented time. This free meal service will help to ensure the well-being of our children by meeting their nutritional needs, while easing some of the financial burden to families.

Beginning Monday, March 30th, we will start serving a FREE Breakfast and Lunch to children 18 years of age and younger.  It will be served in three of our school/parish parking lots in a meal pick-up service.  Children must be present to claim a meal.  Breakfast service will be served from 8:00-9:00 am and Lunch 11:00-12:00 noon.  Multiple days may be picked up at one time.  The locations of service are Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary School, Lexington, Good Shepherd School, Frankfort, and St Leo Catholic School, Versailles. 

May this mission to empower those in need and bring a community closer together in God.  Please pray for my staff and voluntaries as we begin this challenge.  As St Patrick once said, “May the strength of God pilot us, may the wisdom of God instruct us, may the hand of God protect us, may the word of God direct us. Be always ours this day and evermore.”

Blessings to All
