St. John Values...
our
relationship with our parents. We couldn't do it without you!
Volunteerism opportunities abound, from driving on field trips to
manhandling the copy machines. Contact the front office for details
about specific current needs.
PTL (Parent Teacher League) is Paving Tomorrow's Legacy and is...
...one of the important links between
parents & the school. It secures home support for the aims of the
school and enables both home and school to help children grow as
Christians. PTL offers:
- Liaison with the school administration
- Fellowship with other parents
- Volunteerism opportunities within the
school community such as Classroom Coordinators and Teacher
Appreciation Week deliveries
- Fun activities for students, such as Red
Ribbon Week, Field Day and the Fall Festival
- Beneficial Fundrasing for St. John
School, including the Auction and Gift Wrap Fundraisers. Past efforts
include gymnasium bleachers, playground equipment, computer equipment
and school vans.
PTL meetings are held the second Wednesday
of each month during the school year in the COC room. It begins with a
devotional at 8:45am and the meeting itself begins at 9:00am. All
parents who are able to come are enthusiastically invited!
Academic
Boosters Invites You...
...to join us for our quarterly meetings
which will be announced in the Friday Flyer.
Academic Booster Club has been in operation
for over 10 years serving our students and families in the arenas of
curiculm and development. Quarterly meetings keep members informed on
our school's academic programs and improvement, test scores and trends,
college guidance information,and resources availble to our school.
Everything is reviewed and discussed with an eye to the improvement of
our children and teens' academic programs and progress.
Members of the Academic Boosters have servedon the accreditation
commitee and have been invited to sit on our School Board Commitee, and
often review potential academic programs, educational trips, and
community service opportunities. Parents of students from preschool age
to high school seniors are encouraged and invited to attend. The
Academic Booster club is not a fund-raising organization, however they
do have donated monies that can be spent on special academic needs.

our many sports programs. Our purpose is to provide funding for the

including the floor, walls, hoops and stage curtain.
