Summer is in full swing, and we are being kept very busy here at Saint John School! Mr. Baummer, Mrs. Smoyer, and their team have been working hard on renovations to the Art Room and entry hall, waxing, and cleaning in preparation for the new year.

We are planning a workday to give fresh paint and energy to the After School Care rooms and entry. If you would like to help, or would like to help offset the cost of paint, please let us know. This will occur in mid-July.

There are scholarships available - be sure to check out the BRIDGE information found below.

We hope to see you at our Summer Get Together on our new date, July 16th.

Happy 4th and Stay Cool!

In Christ,
Mrs. Tice
