We are still mourning the loss of a big part of our community!
Chris Jarvis (Dad of Jack and Will) passed away last month but will always be part of the community. Chris did the research and interviewed some folks to make the history of St. John come alive. We are so lucky to have this document. Every time I drive by the building on the SE corner of 85th and Greenwood or see a story about the Ku Klux Klan, I think about how far we have come.
As the 2016 school year comes to an end and all the items are tucked away and packed up for summer there are some old families that are moving on to new horizons, and new families that are starting their St. John experience. We will always have the connections to a tiny little parish church on the hill in Greenwood. These connections are strong and will last for many years to come.
Please read this history link and appreciate our teachers, priest and families that help us everyday!
Mike and Eva Fletcher
Ed. Note: The Fletcher family has a long history at St. John School and Parish. Mike’s mother, Loretta (McGrath) Fletcher graduated from St. John School in 1945. She and her husband, John educated six children at St. John School, with Mike and Joseph going on to educate their children here, as well. We wish the Fletchers – and other families departing St. John School (but not the community!) great adventures ahead, and send our thanks for their continued support!
