Happy Culver's Night

Dear Saint John's Families,

The days seem to go faster as we approach the end of the school year. Please be sure to check your emails and the school calendar, so you do not miss any of our upcoming events. I want to say THANK YOU!  I was hoping to have our staff enjoy a little recognition last week for Teacher Appreciation Week, but you really went above and beyond with the treats, notes, gifts, and lunches!  Everything made us all feel so appreciated by our wonderful Saint John’s community. On behalf of the teachers and staff - you really made our week!

Congratulations, John W. Hajlo Scholarship Winner Emma Mike:
Join us in congratulating seventh-grader Emma Mike, who was one of just six athletes in the entire Catholic Athletic Association to win a John W. Hajlo Scholarship. Saint John's had six applicants this year (applicants must be entering seventh or eighth grade), and the CAA committee shared this: "Our applications were incredible this year. The student essays were well written and inspiring. We are proud of each and every one of them – for being courageous and applying; for sharing their enthusiasm for their sport, their school, and their Catholic faith; and for their deep understanding of what it means to be a part of a team. We wish we could give everyone a positive response! Even if your student didn’t win the scholarship this year, they have motivated us to work harder and stronger on their behalf." Thank you to all who applied, and congrats again to Emma!
Laura Haraldson, Athletics Director
