School News&
Now that summer is coming to a close and everyone has had a chance to relax and renew their enthusiasm, the business of beginning a new school year should be a welcome experience. Hopefully, your children are excited about a new school year. Our theme this year is Where Faith and Knowledge Meet.
September 4 is the first day of school for the students at St. John's with classes beginning at 9:30 a.m. and school dismissal at 4:00 p.m.
We are sure that you will find this a rewarding year for your child. If at any time you have a question about school, do call the office at 651-633-1522. We wish the best for you and your family during the coming year.
