Letter from the Gala Benifit Comittee

Dear Parents of St. John the Evangelist school,

We hope you are having a wonderful, relaxing summer. This is just a reminder that school starts in 1 month! Where did the time go?

At the end of the school year, your family was sent home with 10 raffle tickets to hopefully sell leisurely through the summer months. If you, like a lot of us, put your tickets in a "basket" to take out later, well now is the time! With only 1 month left of summer, we would like you to take these raffle tickets to work, to your family members or where ever you go, and see if anyone would like a chance to win money! This raffle helps bring in needed support for your church and school.

Also remember to buy your tickets to the Hollywood Nights Benefit Gala starting this weekend after all the masses. There are only a limited number of tickets this year, so buy them soon. It should be a fun filled night for all!

Thanks for sending your kids to St. John's and for all the time and support you have given the school and church. It is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

The Benefit Gala Committee

Walk-A-Thon News
The weather held up and our annual Walk A Thon was a success. Father Garcia led us in prayer as each student carried their prayer intention along the walk. Runza provided an excellent lunch and strawberry smoothies.

Thank you to the Walk A Thon committee; Helen Franks, David Snodgrass, Lexy Donnelly, Cindy Heesemann, Jessica May, Sarah Bond, Ella Kaiser, Michelle Stansbury, Rose Walsh, Jackie McKay, Christina Pope, Cade Luce and all of the other people that helped make this happen. You all did a fabulous job!





Fillpot Fundraiser Reminder
If you purchased or sold certificates for the Fillpot Photographic Art Fundraiser in September, this is a reminder that you need to have your photo session completed before the end of May. Please call the Fillpots at 593-9430 to schedule your appointment. Also, call your friends and family that have also purchased the certificates to remind them that they will expire on May 31st. The lilacs will be in full bloom this month and will make a beautiful backdrop for your family photo. If you have any questions, please call the Fillpots or Jessica May at 667-2177.


Congratulations to Alumni
Courtney Bell, Abby Colpitts, Aimee Molloy, Amy Settle, Olivia Todd who were inducted into the Spanish National Honor Society at Thompson Valley High School on May 5, 2010. Appropriately Cinco de Mayo


ENDOW
Attention all women of the parish: ENDOW is coming to St. John’s Church. ENDOW is an educational program that brings women together to discover their God-given dignity and to understand their role in humanizing and transforming society. ENDOW utilizes small study groups, conferences and retreats to cultivate faith, fellowship and formation. There will be an informational meeting on Monday May 17th at 7:00 PM in the Church basement for all interested women. Please come to this informational meeting to learn more. Questions can be directed to Anne Yanez at (970) 219-4415.


CONCERT UPDATE
Thanks so much to those of you who donated to our "Harmony for Haiti" Choir Concert last week. We received $100 along with many, delicious desserts!! The choir sang beautifully and had a great time!


SUMMER ACTIVITIES
Thompson school district is offering enrichment classes for grades K-5. These classes range from fitness to Science fun. For more information, please go to their website:
http://www.thompson.k12.co.us/Divisions/Learning_Services/student_support/gt/enrichment_valley.html



LEGO ROBOTIC CAMP
Loveland High School is hosting Robotics Camps for Middle School age children June 7-11th and June 14-18th from 9 am – 4pm. For more information please call Ken Gwynn at 613-5246 or email him at gwynnk@thompson.k12.co.us.



Scrip News
Thank you for your dedicated support of the scrip program. Remember for this year, a $150 minimum profit must be met before you receive the 50% scrip rebate. Any scrip purchased through 6/30/10, will still be considered for this years scrip rebate. Then on July 1st, start buying for the next school year – we’ll already begin counting those purchases for the 10/11 school year.

Some new vendors have been added to the scrip program. They are Max Muscle ($50 denominations) and Dairy Delite ($5 denominations). These local stores run by parish families, see the value of this program and want to be part of this fundraiser to help the church. Profits from the scrip program help both the church and the school, and imagine what could be accomplished if every parishioner made a scrip purchase at least once a month (and buying scrip is a great budgeting tool).

Scrip is always available to buy at weekend masses and the parish office year-round, and the school office during the school year. Please contact the scrip coordinator by email: dorothea.boettcher@saintjohns.net with questions, suggestions or to volunteer to help sell scrip.

What: End-of-Year Celebration of a Love of Reading

Saint John's 2nd Grade Knitting Service Project

Mrs. Martinek’s 2nd grade class undertook a year long service project in 2009-2010. The 2nd grade class learned the skill of knitting. Using this skill each second grader knitted a partial square to one or more squares during their free time to make a beautiful afghan that was donated to the McKee Cancer Center. The title of the afghan was “On Eagles Wings”. The children were encouraged to pray as they knitted and to remember the people that would be benefiting from this project, cancer patients and their families need our prayers. Each person at sometime in their lives if they have not already, they will be affected by cancer in their lives or someone they know. We wanted to share our love with those in need.
This project was cross curricular as it not only focused on our religious curriculum of service by the students; it reinforced basic number sense skills such as counting, adding and subtracting, and measurement.
The culmination of our project was on April 30, 2010, when we delivered our completed “On Eagles Wings” afghan to the McKee Cancer Center. The students were welcomed with a reception and were given a tour of the new chapel at McKee Hospital. And as one student said, “The best part of this project was learning about how to help and pray for people with cancer.”

4th Annual Walk A Thon

Hello St. John's families!

Our 4th annual Walk-A-Thon is tomorrow! Here are a few important details you'll need to know:
• We will be meeting at Old Fairgrounds Park immediately after early dismissal. The Walk will start at approximately 12:30 p.m.
• If you've ordered Walk-A-Thon T-shirts, they will be coming home with your oldest child today. Please make sure your children wear their T-shirts to school on Thursday.
• Please be prepared for inclement weather -- we're never sure what the weather will do from one moment to the next, so make sure your children bring jackets, sunscreen, umbrellas, etc.
• Please stop at the registration table first to pick up your meal tickets (if you've ordered a Runza meal) and the intentions your family will be praying for. This year, you will not be able to get your lunches without a meal ticket.
• It's not too late to send out your donation letters and cards! We're only halfway to our goal of raising $25,000, and we need every family's help to accomplish our goal. You can print out letters and cards from St. John's website -- just go under the Parent Resources tab, and the link to the Walk-A-Thon page is on the left.

If you have any questions regarding this year's Walk-A-Thon, please contact Helen Franks (hmfranks@msn.com) or Lexy Donnelly (lexydonnelly@gmail.com).

We'll see you tomorrow at the park!

God bless,
Helen Franks

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
