	Weekly Updates


	September 2019

Greetings,

Last Friday, we invited grandparents to have lunch with their grandchildren. We had a very good turn out. It was wonderful to see the smiles on the children's' faces. They were so happy and proud to have their grandparent at school.

Please remember, this Friday and Saturday is the Fall Fest at Cardome. This will be a fantastic event for our parish, community, and school. Please come out and enjoy the fun. Thank you to everyone who helped us with the auction basket items.

Please keep the 70,000 homeless in the Bahamas and those on the east coast who were affected by Hurricane Dorian.

God bless and take care,

Dan Mardell


	Here's What's New!!

Make sure to join us for fun this Friday and Saturday, September 13th & 14th.


	Early Release Day September 17th On Tuesday, September 17th, St. John School will have early dismissal at 1 PM. The teachers will be attending curriculum workshops in Lexington with teachers from Catholic schools in our Diocese. We will have after school for those who regularly attend the program. If you are not in after school and this causes a problem with your work schedule, please RSVP to attend after school. The cost for this day will be $20. Even if you normally attend the after school program, please RSVP so we can make sure we have proper supervision. To RSVP, please email [email protected]


	Double S Stampede Help Needed We are in need of several more helping hands to for the Double S Stampede on Saturday, September 14th. If your child plans to participate in any athletic opportunities at St. John School, we ask they you consider volunteering to help with this event. This event helps off set the cost of some sports. Please contact Todd Reinhart at [email protected] if you are able to volunteer.


	St. John Robotics Club The St. John’s Robotics Club will begin meeting on Sundays from 5-7:00 on September 15th. We will have teams meeting for 3rd-5th graders and for 6th-8th graders this year on a weekly basis on Sunday evenings. We also will be meeting on some Saturdays initially to get a jump start on the building process. Competitions are on Saturdays starting sometime after Nov 1st. Fees will remain at $100 for the fall and $100 for the spring sessions for the 3rd-8th graders. I hope to have monthly learn and build projects for the K-2nd graders but am still working on this. We will likely meet once a month. Details to follow. Thank you. I can be contacted with any questions at [email protected]


	St. John Spirit Week at Chick-fil-A!!! Come out to Chick-fil-A the week of Sept.23-28! St. John School will receive a percentage of ALL orders placed through the Chick-fil-A mobile app from the hours of 5-8 PM for the entire week. So order every day if you want, but on Wednesday Sept. 25 we’d love to fill the restaurant with St. John families! This is a great way to enjoy our amazing school community, meet new families, support our school, and show school spirit! Take the night off from cooking and come on out! Orders MUST be placed using the mobile app! Look for flyers coming home in the office folder next week for full information about the Chick-fil-A mobile app!


	Changes for the 2019-2010 Yearbook After producing the St. John School yearbook for the last eight years, the current yearbook volunteers have both taken on new responsibilities at the school. As a result, it is necessary for them to step away from the yearbook. If there are any parents or relatives of students who are interested in taking this project on, we would love to hear from you! Responsibilities include taking photographs at school events (or finding others that can provide photos), creating yearbook themes and pages with a very user-friendly online program, submitting documents by deadline dates, and marketing the yearbook. These tasks could be completed by an individual or a committee. We are happy to provide training to anyone who is interested! You can be responsible for carrying on the St. John yearbook tradition! Please contact the office for details.


	St. John School Enrollment Committee Do you love St. John School and want to share that enthusiasm with others? Then the Enrollment Committee needs you! We are just getting started for the upcoming year and are always looking for fresh ideas and helping hands, both to enhance our existing community and to share the good word about our school with prospective families. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, please consider joining us! Email Colette Mayer at [email protected] for more information!


	Lunch Accounts Just a reminder that you can always send a check in to the school for your students lunch account. If you would like to check on your students lunch balance you can do so on myschoolbucks.com. You do not have to upload money on myschoolbucks if you do not want to. They do charge a fee.


	Cafeteria Volunteers Needed We are in need of volunteers for the cafeteria. You must have safe environment training and a background check to volunteer in the cafeteria. Volunteers are needed Monday - Friday from 10:30-1. If you are willing or able to volunteer on any of those days, please contact the office at [email protected]


	Box Tops For Education Box Tops is changing to fit today's families. The new and improved Box Tops mobile app uses state-of-the-art technology to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to your school's earnings online. Eventually the Box Tops program will become digital-only. Participating brands are starting to change their packaging from a traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Top label. If you see this label, use the new Box Tops app to scan your receipt. Box Tops are still worth 10¢ each for your school. The app will find participating products purchased at any store and instantly add cash to your school's earnings online.
