From the Office
October 31st, 2016
Mrs. Perry's Pre-K Class had a great time with the fire truck!
Mr. Mardell with Elliott and Ava at the Diocesan Spelling Bee!
7th & 8th grade book share projects!
The 2nd grade students had to decide what they wanted Ms. Burns to be for Halloween and write 3 reasons why.
5th grade students worked in pairs to complete punnett squares with genes from two parents of dragons. They then flipped a coin to determine which trait they would receive and drew in and colored drawing with the dominant trait.
Principal's Corner
Greetings,
St. John School was a very busy place Friday with parent teacher conferences. It is a great opportunity to sit down with your child's teacher and discuss their progress. While many of the parents were in conferences, their children were having a blast on the playground. This is another example of what a great family atmosphere we have at our school. Remember, you don't have to wait until conference time. Any time you have a concern, please contact your child's teacher or me. Communication is very important for our success.
On another note, keep bringing in your plastic bottles and cans. Our recycling program is a great way for the school to be good stewards of God's environment. A special thanks to all the parents and students who help with this fantastic program!
Have a safe and wonderful Halloween,
Dan Mardell
