Letter from our Principal

Welcome to the last day in April, everyone! Is it possible that tomorrow we will be looking at May and truly toward the end of another school year?

Since May is the month of we dedicate to Mary, “Our Blessed Lady” Monday, May 3, we will begin our day with the crowning of the “Queen of Heaven”. Please send flowers with your child to place at her feet during this prayer service.

What an exciting and busy school this is!!
Friday Mass, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, Choir Concerts, “Come & Play With
Junior K,” Track Events and Meets, Battle of the Books Competition, Field Trips, “Mini Courses”, Trimester Progress Reports, Band Concert, Strings Concert, Field Day, Class Pictures, Pre-School Mother & Fathers’ Day Celebration, PTO meetings, SAC meetings, Tech Committee meetings, Finance Council meetings, Open House Visitations, Art Show, Year Book, Talent Show, Student Council, Honor Society and GRADUATION just to list only some of the happenings where students, staff, parents, Father Frank and parish work together to form a team to make this an outstanding school community.

I send you my most sincere “thank you” for the part each of you play on this team.
“WE ARE ONE BODY.”

Shalom,

Mrs. Schmitt

THE LORD HAS DETERMINED OUR PATH

A Poem of Faith
By Emily Matthews
The Lord God has provided us with all that we will need,
He has given us our talents to be sure that we’ll succeed,
He guides us with a gentle hand in times when we’re afraid,
And helps us stay determined when our strength begins to fade,
He travels every path with us as it curves and bends each day
And He simply asks that we follow Him and trust He knows the way.

“At those times when we feel a little confused about where we are going
And how we are going to get there, just remember we can trust His plan. “

After just one week being back with all of you here at Saint Johns, this poem
has been my prayer. It has been a very good week. The self discipline, mannerly, and
happy students guided by a most dedicated faculty and staff along with caring and invested parents is exactly as I found this special school two years ago when
I joined you.

It has been a busy, busy week with a SAC meeting, a PTO meeting and a lengthy
Finance Committee Meeting. It is such a blessing to work with such “God
given talented and capable people.” Again, I thank you and am so appreciative
for all of the help, patience and support I have been given to help me “Get Back in the
Saddle Again”.

Shalom,

Lois Schmitt,
PrinciPAL at Saint John the Evangelist Catholic School

Students should bring their completed bookmarks (which we handed out at last month's meeting). If your student was unable to attend last month, but would like to attend next Tuesday, that is wonderful! Invite your child to read a book of their choosing, and then create a bookmark where they record words that capture their attention, complete with the page number where they found each word.

Also, we are planning an end-of-year book club party at Barnes & Noble. More details to come!

If you have any questions, please contact Pam Coke (pamelacoke@msn.com) or Lexy Donnelly (lexydonnelly@gmail.com).


O God, bless our family and all its members and friends;

Give us kindness and patience to support each other;

come into our hearts and remain with us.
May we rejoice in your blessings.
