GRANDPARENTS DAY

Thank you to everyone that came out for Grandparents’ Day. It was fun to see so many Special Guests with our students. We are thankful for each and every one of you.

ST. JOHN FLOWER SALE
 
This year, instead of doing the Dance-A-Thon, or the Walk-A-Thon, we are doing an Annual Flower Fundraiser. All monies raised from the Flower Sale will go towards classroom and kitchen improvements for our school. We are excited to try this new endeavor and hope you will join us. All order forms with payment (one check made out to St. John) need to be turned into the office by THIS Friday, March 24th.  The pick up date for the flowers will be Saturday, April 15.  More information to come about pick up day.  Click here for the flyer. Click here for the order form. Any questions, contact Heidi Mielke.
 
The Board of Education has granted Miss Holcomb‘s request for a peaceful release from her call as Kindergarten teacher at St. John Lutheran School. We pray God's richest blessings on Miss Holcomb and where God leads her.We welcome Mrs. Ann Krider who will be teaching Kindergarten for the remainder of the year. She is a trained teacher and is eager to start teaching our students. We are excited to have Mrs. Krider join our team and we pray God's richest blessings on the remainder of the school year.

SPRING BREAK

To celebrate Spring Break a little early, students are allowed to wear PJ’s to school on Friday. Don’t forget we do not have school next week. We will return to school on April 3rd. We will NOT be in school on Friday, April 7th or Monday, April 10th due to Easter.

The School Office will be closed during Spring Break.  Voicemails & emails will be checked. 

Nerf Wars! 
Save the date! St. John’s male students and their moms or special female person in their life are invited to join us for Nerf wars and a cookout on Friday, April 21. More details to come after spring break!

Students will be allowed to wear uniform appropriate (black, navy, khaki, gray) shorts starting April 3.  Jean shorts will only be allowed on Fridays. 

This is the time of the year where you will be receiving emails about ordering your yearbooks online. Please ignore those emails and do NOT order a yearbook this year. As a gift to all families, each student will be receiving a yearbook from the school.
