Exciting News from our Run4Funds fundraiser!
We are thrilled to announce that with all the tremendous effort, hard work, and enthusiasm shown by our incredible students, families, and supporters, our Run4Funds fundraiser brought in an amazing total of $30,887.91!
This achievement reflects the dedication and spirit of our entire school community, from the students who ran their hearts out to the families and friends who cheered them on and generously contributed. Every step, every cheer, and every donation has brought us closer to supporting the programs, resources, and experiences that make our school so special.
We are so grateful to each of you for your energy, generosity, and commitment. Proceeds from Run4Funds will help cover vital expenses that keep our school running smoothly and allow us to focus on delivering the best possible education to our students. Thank you for making this event such a success and for demonstrating the power of our community!
Tickets are now available for our St. John's School Christmas Special: December 17 and 18, 2024
We are excited to invite you to our long-awaited combined Christmas celebration: Christmas in Harmony. Students from our Kindergarten through Fifth Grade classes will fill the air with joyful music, under the direction of Mrs. Mari Koester and Mrs. Nissa Newsome. Adding to the festive spirit, our middle school drama class, led by Dr. Erica Flesher and Mr. Matthew Walton, and our Handbells Elective, led by Miss Krystal Thompson, will present a beautiful dramatization of the nativity story, bringing the Gospel to life in a moving and memorable way. This joyful celebration will feature many beloved Christian songs, giving you the chance to sing along to cherished carols and reflect on the journey of Joseph and Mary, and the birth of Jesus.
With most of our school participating, we are offering two performances:
- Tuesday, December 17, 6:30 pm
- Wednesday, December 18, 9:15 am
Both shows will require complimentary tickets for entry. If possible, we kindly ask that those with more flexible schedules, including grandparents, consider attending the Wednesday morning presentation. This will help ensure everyone can enjoy the event comfortably. We have limited the number of tickets to 6 tickets per family.
We hope you will join us for a time of music, reflection, and celebration of the true meaning of Christmas!
Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful way to come together as a family. By packing a box, you’re not only giving to a child in need, but you’re also teaching your family the true meaning of generosity. Let’s inspire the next generation of givers!
We’re almost there – final collection is Wednesday 11/20 by 5pm!
Fun Fact: Operation Christmas Child is a family tradition for many across the globe. Last year alone, more than 4.5 million family members were involved in packing shoeboxes!

Please be sure to return your box if you have taken one either filled (yippie!) or unfilled if you don’t plan to finish it placing it back onto the table.
You can even use your own shoebox paper or plastic and decorate or add your personal touch if there aren’t any other shoeboxes in the OCC table. Or stop by Hobby Lobby to grab one for yourself.
Final collection date: Wednesday, 11/20 by 5 PM. Drop off in the School Office for the count. Class grade with the most turned in, wins the Grand Prize.
