In Case You Missed It

Advertise on Student Planners for 2023-24

For our parents operating their own business! You have the opportunity to place an advertisement on our new official student planners for students in grades 4-8 for the 2023-24 school year. Your sponsorship allows us to provide these tools at no cost to students, and it is a cost-effective way for both the students and parents to see your message on a daily basis. Please email Diane Crockett in the school office if you are interested in learning more. This does not obligate you to purchase an advertisement. Thank you for considering placing an advertisement that will spread your message for at least a year!

Uniform Exchange

Amazing volunteers have been working tirelessly to organize the Uniform Exchange for the St. John community. Don’t buy new pieces for the last six weeks of school. Stop by the Uniform Exchange in Portable 41 to find good uniform items, especially t-shirts, polos, shorts and skorts for the warmer weather. While you are there, please consider donating laundered uniform pieces in good repair that meet St. John School Uniform Policy requirements. Please do NOT donate items with stains, holes or have not been laundered.

The Uniform Exchange will be open the following days for your convenience: May 22 and June 5, from 3-3:30pm. On June 14, the Uniform Exchange will be open 10:30-11am. Questions? Please contact Rula Saleh, 206-409-4543, or Carissa Person-Hurley, carissalayla@yahoo.com.

Thank you, Rula and Carissa, for all your hard work organizing the Uniform Exchange!
