Enjoy Presidents’ Day and the Long Weekend


cover

Families,

Thank you for attending the State of the School presentation and Facilitation. Registration is going well. Michele Thornquist is kept busy touring new families around the school. If you know of families interested in St. John, please tell them to contact us as soon as possible. We held the school Spelling Bee this morning. Congratulations to champion Megan L. and to all the classroom winners. They demonstrated what active learners they are as they were challenged with some very tough words!  The winning word anesthesia.

Remember, our Accreditation Team will return on March 1st for the three-day site visit. Students are required to wear their dress uniforms on those days and we ask you all to review the Schoolwide Learning Expectations with your students.

The lunch portal opens today so order your student’s lunch for March, and speaking of food, look out for March Crabness. There is more information following.

Thank you all for your generosity and prayers for Charlotte White and her family. Keep on praying!

God Bless,
Bernadette O’Leary
