Virtual Spirit Wear Day Winners

Please know that the staff at Saint John's is praying with you during this Holy Week. Our hope is that we are all able to take a step back and enter into the graces which God offers during this most holy of seasons. I plan to provide just one more update this week, on Wednesday, April 8.

D.E.A.R. Wednesdays: 
Drop-Everything-And-Read (DEAR) day begins this week: How does this work?

1. Encourage students to read. A "not mandatory but strongly recommended" reading assignment will be given each Wednesday.  
2. This day will also provide time for students to catch up on existing work. Aside from the reading, no new coursework will be assigned on DEAR Wednesdays.
3. DEAR Wednesdays will offer an opportunity for students to interact one-on-one with teachers. Simply email your teacher to set up a time (9:00 AM-2:00 PM Wednesdays) for individual attention and instruction. Teachers have all implemented a way to connect with students on an individual basis. If you have not heard anything from your child's teacher, please feel free to email them.  

Purchase with a purpose! 
We know many of you are relying on online shopping to allow for social distance while still keeping your family supplied with their needs. Here is an easy way for you to help out our school.  Amazon has a program called AmazonSmile, which directs a percentage of your purchase towards the charity of your choice. So instead of going to the regular Amazon shopping site, be sure to use AmazonSmile, make your purchase, and our school will receive a donation. There is no difference on your end from using Amazon or AmazonSmile. You will still see the same items, have the same perks, etc. You can use the link below to direct you towards this effort and select our school as your organization. LINK
