CATHOLIC SCHOOLS’ WEEK ENDS/REGISTRATION BEGINS

Dear Saint John’s School Families,

As we near the end of Catholic Schools Week, 2013, I would like to thank each and every one of you who contributed to, supported and attended the many events and activities.  From the Barn Dance, then the special weekend Masses, to the Open House, to Spirit Day, followed by the 4^th grade Archdiocese Mass and lunch hosted by Saint Johns, to yesterday’s Family Luncheon, until today, the Student/Staff athletic competition, all were successful and made for a great week. 

As calendars are turned to February tomorrow, it is now time to begin planning for the next school year.  The very first step is to hold REGISTRATION.  Please make this a top priority in order for us to move forward with our planning.  It would be greatly appreciated if we could receive your registration forms as soon as possible.    You will be delighted to learn that due to our generous benefactors contributing to our Endowment Fund and the prudent use of our resources, there will be NO increase in tuition for next year. 

Included in this packet you are receiving today is the ANNUAL REPORT for the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools. Thank you for taking time to read this information about Catholic Education and the 38 Catholic Schools in our Archdiocese.

 On the cover you will open the Doors of Faith in our Catholic Schools, (actually, these are the doors of the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception).  The Cathedral is celebrating her 100^th year as the Mother Church of the Archdiocese of Denver.

Inside you will become better acquainted with our Archbishop Aquila and Mr. Thompson, our Superintendent of the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Schools.  Would it surprise you to learn that our Archbishop attended both Catholic elementary and high schools?

On the back cover you will find a FINANCIAL SNAPSHOT giving interesting facts about the 2012 Fiscal Year.   You will find Saint John’s tuition K-8 is lower than the average tuition for Affiliated Catholic families.  It is important to be informed about Catholic Education and share the good news with others.

Shalom,

Mrs. Schmitt
