Principal's CornerGreetings,It is hard to believe this week marks the end of the first quarter. The students and staff have been working extremely hard and they looking forward to a well-deserved break. Also, I am excited about the opportunity to teach middle school science. The time working first hand with such talented students is very rewarding. Lastly, this week featured a unique matchup between two St. John soccer teams. The match was very close and well played. As we close out the first quarter, I would like to thank everyone for your help in providing a wonderful educational experience for the children of St. John School!God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
