Welcome back from Thanksgiving Break. I hope that you had a wonderful time with friends and family and were able to reflect on the blessings in your lives.
Advent is here! As we make the 3-week sprint to Christmas Break, please help us keep your children focused on the tasks ahead while we bring a lot of joyful and exciting events the closer we get to Christmas. One of those events is the Georgetown Christmas Parade this Saturday, December 3rd. Please see the notice about the details down below.
This is our big donation week! Please check out the DONATE button down below to help support our iGiveCatholic campaign this year. While the big giving day is tomorrow, November 29, 2022, you can donate today so you don’t forget. Your donations go directly to St. John School and this year’s donations will support our technology and infrastructure.
Also, Ss. Francis and John Parish is participating in the Toys for Tots Program and our students can help by donating a new, unwrapped toy (see details below).
