Weekly Updates
November 2016
Greetings,
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends! It is very important that the students continue to focus and work hard. School will be very busy the next few weeks with holiday activities ranging from Santa’s Workshop to the Christmas play. Above all, as Father Linh said at Sunday Mass, keep God on your mind and in your heart as you prepare for Christmas.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
Here's What's New!!

St Francis and John's third annual Advent Calendars are here! The calendars will be available in the school office after the Thanksgiving holiday.
