Principal's CornerGreetings,The St. John students returned weary, but enriched from their journey to our nation's capitol. I would like to thank all the chaperones for taking the time to make this a memorable experience for our students. The soccer and cross country teams had very successful seasons, and now our students have started basketball and cheerleading. Our school board is compiling information from the VOICE meeting and we will be formulating an action plan. I appreciate all their hard work in this endeavor to help improve our school. Please encourage your children to continue their hard work and focus in school. Again, I would like to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to work with your children in a Catholic educational environment. I know there are always areas to improve, but overall this is a fantastic place that offers children a great education and a chance to grow in their Catholic faith.God bless and take care,Dan Mardell
P.S.Please plan to attend the town hall meeting Thursday, November 19th , @ 6:30 . The meeting will take place at St. John Church. This will be the best place to get information about the future direction of our church and school.
