Family Prayer
Gospel Reading for Sunday, April 14th, 2019
Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
The Paschal Mystery
- What are some of the reasons people tell lies about each other?
- Even though Pontius Pilate knew Jesus was not guilty he gave into the crowd shouting to have Jesus crucified. What do you think Jesus was feeling?
- Who do we need to forgive?
- Who stands up for you when you need support? How does it make you feel?
Please consider reading the upcoming Sunday gospel together as a family. The questions above are good conversation starters as you prepare your children for weekly mass.

A Note from the Principal:
Dear SJE Parents,
This evening you will receive an email from me containing a link to our annual survey. This survey is the result of a collaborative effort between our teachers and our Parent Educational Advisory Committee. We have streamlined the document into a format that makes it easy for you to give your opinion and share your ideas to make our school better.
We value your opinion. Our families are what keep our school strong!
Thanks in advance for your attention to this critical part of our school planning process.
Growing in God’s Love,
Mary Laidlaw Otto

Thursday Folder
Today’s paper envelope contains several important documents. They are as follows:
1. A copy of our school calendar for the 2019-2020 school year. Please hang onto this calendar and use it as your guide as you plan family activities and appointments for the upcoming year.
2. Mid-trimester reports for students in grades one through eight. Please review these reports with your students. If you need more detailed reports, you can access them by checking PowerSchool. Questions should be addressed to your child’s homeroom teacher, or the teacher of the subject about which you have a question.
3. Nomination forms for our Parent Educational Advisory Committee (PEAC) and our Home and School Association. These parent leaders make a significant positive impact on our school. Much help is needed on both committees. The time requirement is small when compared to all the benefits to our students and families.

Severe Weather Drill
Tomorrow, Friday, April 12, in conjunction with our state Severe Weather Week, our students will participate in a tornado/severe weather drill. During this drill, all students will proceed to the church hall, assume the “duck and cover” position, and wait quietly for further instructions from teachers. Our students always do a fantastic job of waiting quietly and listening for instructions. While some of our students experience a bit of anxiety whenever we have any kind of practice activity, we know that these activities keep our students safe.

225 MILES! Our Walk for Water – April 18, 2019
Our Walk for Water is coming up in one week on April 18. Together our students and staff will walk over 225 miles to collect and return water to our grounds for use in our garden. Consider contributing $10/$25/$50 towards our well project to support our efforts as well as assist a community with a gift of cleaning, usable water. Add your family’s name to those who have contributed directly via our link:
https://www.watertothrive.org/campaigns/st-john-the-evangelist-school-greenfield-wi/
Please share this link with family and friends to help us get closer towards our $5,000 goal. Checks made out to SJE are also welcomed with “Well Project” written in the memo line.
Students should wear clothing appropriate for an outdoor walk, with the weather in mind. This is an out-of-uniform day.
We are still in need of water/milk jugs for our walk. If you have any gallon or half gallon bottles, please send them to school. Thank you
