ARE YOU MISSING A….

……coat, baseball cap, hoodie, bracelet, socks, t-shirt, lunch box, pair of gym shoes, book, or a pair of gloves? If so, your missing item along with many other items may be waiting for you on our St. John “Lost and Found” table in the entry way of the school. The students and their classes are reviewing it as they walk by, but it also is helpful to have family members check out this table out, too.
