Are you looking for a simple way to show your appreciation for the incredible teachers and staff at St. John's? The Christmas Purse is a wonderful opportunity for your family to spread some holiday cheer!

This collection allows us to give a meaningful monetary gift to our dedicated teachers and support staff. In past years, we’ve been able to bless full-time staff with gifts of around $200 each—let’s make it happen again this year!

Donations are due by Wednesday, December 18th, and gifts will be hand-delivered on Friday, December 20th.

How to Give:

• Cash or Check: Drop off in an envelope at the main office during drop-off or pick-up. Checks should be made payable to St. John's School with "K8 Christmas" in the memo.
• Electronic: For an easy electronic option, click here.

Thank you for helping us make this season extra special for the amazing team that does so much for our children!

On Thursday, December 19th, we are excited to show our appreciation to the incredible St. John’s ELC, K-8, and Church staff by treating them to a hot catered lunch! This special meal is a small way to thank them for their dedication and hard work throughout the year.

To make this possible, we are looking for volunteers to help supervise the K-8 students during their lunchtime so that the staff can enjoy this moment together. If you are available to lend a hand, please sign up here.

Thank you for helping us create a meaningful and enjoyable day for our amazing staff. Your time and support are deeply appreciated!

This December and January, we are collecting monetary donations for the Colorado Family Life Center in Aurora. This faith-based organization is dedicated to helping moms and dads raise their children in nurturing, loving, and safe ways.

Your generosity will make a meaningful impact on the lives of families in need. We also encourage you to involve your children in this act of giving by challenging them to contribute from their own savings. It's a wonderful opportunity to teach the value of compassion and sharing.

Thank you for considering a donation and for supporting this important cause.
