Counselor’s Corner, June 2025

Dear St. John Families,

As we wrap up another wonderful school year, I want to wish you all a joyful and restful summer! May the months ahead be filled with laughter, adventure, and meaningful time together.

If your family needs mental health support during the break, remember that Care Solace remains available to help connect you with licensed counselors. And if there’s anything I can assist with before the final bell rings, feel free to stop by or email me at cshaw@st-johnschool.org.

Enjoy your summer, and I look forward to seeing you in the fall!

Warmly,
Ms. Shaw
