The Big Breakfast 2025 - Registration is Open
Join us for The Big Breakfast on September 5 - our annual celebration for fathers and wonderful men in the St. John’s community! This relaxed, welcoming event is a perfect opportunity for dads to spend quality time with their children, enjoy a delicious breakfast, and connect with other men in our school community.
We have two seatings - 7:15am and 8:15am - so please feel free to chose one that works for you and your family.
We’ll be serving breakfast burritos (meat, gluten-free, and vegan options), along with bagels, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, juice, and water.
If dad can’t attend, we warmly welcome uncles, grandfathers, or another wonderful male role model. If needed, we can also help connect your child with another friendly family so they don’t miss out on this special morning - just reach out to the school office and let us know.
Register for The Big Breakfast here.
For planning purposes, registration closes at 4pm on Monday, September 1, 2025.

This relaxed, welcoming event is a perfect opportunity to spend quality time with your children, enjoy a delicious high tea, and connect with other women in our school community.
This year we will have one, extra-large seating at 2pm to better serve all of our community. We’ll be serving scones, cucumber sandwiches, chocolates and, of course, tea.
If mom can’t attend with their children, we warmly welcome aunties, grandmothers, or another wonderful female role model. If needed, we can also help connect your child with another friendly family so they don’t miss out on this special afternoon - just reach out to the school office and let us know.

Chapel Offering Focus (August- October 17th)
For the next several weeks, we are highlighting a very special way our school family is making a difference around the world. St. John’s currently supports five children in India through sponsorship.
Our partnership provides these children with the opportunity to attend high quality Christian schools, where they receive a strong education in a faith-filled environment. Your generosity also makes it possible for them to receive birthday and Christmas gifts, as well as food and essential supplies for their families.
Thank you for your faithful support in helping us share God’s love in such a meaningful way. Together, we are blessing lives far beyond our own community.
