A NEW SEASON AHEAD


              

Dear Saint John’s School Families,
An important question must be asked each year.  How will our school community experience this Season of Lent and Holy Week in a personal and meaningful manner. 
Tuesday, afternoon will begin our schools’ celebration  of the season.  A Mardi Gras parade will begin starting in the Middle School and ending in our gymnasium.  Our school band and  Mrs. Brown will lead with us with exciting music. All students will be wearing the creative hats they created.  After the loud, happy celebration, we will officially bury “Hallelujah”.  Students will be dismissed eating a donut to celebrate FAT TUESDAY.
Ash Wednesday morning we will attend Mass as a student body.  Please help students to wear their uniforms. 
Our spirituality is as personal as our breath or our fingerprint.  As we move through the forty days of Lent, we might on occasion, surrender freely to the quiet within us.  Beginning next Thursday afternoon students 2nd-8th grade will by class go weekly to Adoration. 
Further in the Chronicle you will learn of how our students will take part in alms giving.  More  of our plans will be shared as we travel this desert road toward Easter.
Shalom,
Mrs. Schmitt

  1. It's a very wonderful experience to every student.
    Specially wearing with graduation caps and gowns that's feeling is so nice. I remember every time when saw the program celebrating by present students.
