Everyone had a great time at the Battle for the Rock!
Sneak Peak at items up for auction!
Principal's CornerGreetings,
February has been a snowy one! Remember to use your best judgement in bringing the students to school if we are in session, especially when the roads are sub-par. We do not want to jeopardize your safety. On a positive note, Mike Drummond finished second in the Engineering Division at the Fayette County Science Fair. Congratulations Mike! Also, I had a chance to see our middle school students play some hoops. There were some very exciting games. It was nice to see all the parents supporting the St. John team. This is just another example of how great the parents of SJS are! Thank you so much for making our school a fantastic place to attend.
Take care and God bless,
Dan Mardell

Recycling News
With the frigid temperatures we have been experiencing, our Green Team Volunteers would greatly appreciate it if you could pre-count your bags before dropping them off in the recycling center. Please label your bags with the number of Aluminum AND the number of PET (plastic) in each bag. Labeling your bags makes the counting process more efficient and saves our volunteers a lot of time. THANK YOU to all those that have been pre-counting your bags!
If you have any questions regarding our recycling efforts or would like to volunteer please contact Bill Hulette or Alison Witajewski.
Scrip News
The second grade class won the last scrip contest and will receive a cake pop party for having the highest participation. February scrip contest: The class with the highest volume of gift cards purchased wins a cupcake party!
Box Tops
Remember to turn in your box tops! Please have all your collected box tops turned into the office by February 28th. This will be the last submission for the school year. This is an easy way to earn money for our school. Thank you for your support.
My Coke Rewards
Don't forget to continue collecting coke points and sending them to the school office. We have used these points to get many great items for our classrooms this year. Our point balance is starting to run low, so send in as many coke points as you can!
