Principal’s Letter

Drum roll please…Our Camp Soaring Eagle numbers are in, and with your generous donations, we raised over $504K, the highest revenue since 2023! Way to go St. John! Over $140K was donated to Fund-a-Need, exceeding our goal, and work is set to begin on the school bathrooms on June 15. Thank you to our co-chairs, auction team, and everyone who volunteered and donated.

Thank you to our PA chairs, Maile and Stephanie, and all the volunteers who are hard at work planning our next community events. Join us tomorrow night, 7pm, in Egan Hall for a fun-filled evening of Bingo, Mingo, and even some karaoke. Tickets will be on sale at the door for those who didn’t have the opportunity to secure a ticket during the auction. And then, next Thursday, join us back in Egan Hall for ParentEd Wine Down – an evening for our community to gather, share insights, and learn together around social-emotional learning (SEL) and educational technology (EdTech), two topics highlighted in this year’s ParentMap ParentEd Talks. Thank you, PA, for planning these great community-building events; we appreciate you.

As a part of their Service Learning in Religion class, our 6^th graders are hosting a food drive for St. Vincent de Paul. Please help them as they help others. With that, I would like close with a quote from Pope Leo’s recent address in Africa, “Christ is everything! In Him we find the fullness of life and meaning. If you are oppressed by injustice, He is justice; if you need help, He is strength; if you fear death, He is life; if you are in darkness, He is light.”

We all have something this world needs; let us be the light of Christ’s love to those in need.
