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...
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 Room Mother 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 Christmas Auction and Gift Wrap Fundraisers. Past efforts include
gymnasium bleachers, playground equipment, computer equipment and
school vans.
PTL meets at noon on the first Tuesday of each month
in the Social Hall at the south end of the campus, and includes a
delicious pot luck luncheon (bring a dish if you are able). We are
looking for active parents to participate in meetings and serve on
commitees. Won't you come for an hour lunch once a month, joining
with other concerned and involved parents? This is an exciting way
to stay up to date on what's happening at your child's school.
