Summertime at Saint John's Is Easy

Even while we settle in to this steamy summer, be sure to take advantage of these "chill" events at Saint John's School of Little Canada. All are welcome, whether you are a registered family or not. Most are free and easy as 1-2-3.

1. Summer Movie Nights: 6:30-8:30 P.M. July 7, August 4, September 1

Be sure to bring a blanket and a friend to these laidback evenings of free popcorn, free water (and sometimes lemonade) and a free movie with the family. Most movies will be in the gym, due to lighting constraints, but the playground is also accessible for kids who just want to kickback with friends they haven't seen in weeks or months (supervision not included). Plus: Middle school youth group is available to kids in grades 5-8 at the same time, so there is something for the whole family.

• July 7: Spies in Disguise
• August 4: The Greatest Showman
• September 1: Toy Story 4

2. Taste of Summer (Adults Only): 6:30-8:00 P.M. July 21

Take a break from the summer heat with a FREE frosty beverage (or a few). This beer and wine sampling is a great chance to get to meet our newly instated School Advisory Board, so get a sitter and get out to kick back and relax. We really hope to celebrate our community, so bring a friend!

3. Canadian Days Parade: Line-up at 10:30 A.M. August 1

Canadian Days is July 31 and August 1: We will be sponsoring the kiddie games from 11:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. Saturday at Spooner Park at  Little Canada Days, and we're seeking volunteers. Contact Laura Haraldson if you're interested or able: [email protected]. Then be SURE to save the date of that Sunday for the Canadian Days Parade.  Every participant gets a free Spiritwear T-shirt. Parade line-up begins at 10:30 A.M. in the Saxon Lanes parking lot. 
 

Other Notes

Interested in summer athletics? Dependent on interest, we are hoping to have a one- to three-day tennis clinic this summer, likely sometime in July. Please  fill out this form if you are interested. We also will be offering a volleyball clinic for incoming fifth- through eighth-graders from 9:00 to 11:00 A.M. August 30-September 2. Cost is $30 and includes a T-shirt. Again, please  fill out this form for each student interested.

Calling all used uniforms! Back by popular demand is the "Used Uniform Sale," which will be held after all Masses August 14-15 in the Gathering Space, and again at Back to School Night on September 1. In the meantime,  please drop off any used uniform donations in the marked box in the Gathering Space any weekday between 7:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.

We can't wait to see you this summer!
