Financial Aid - Deadline This Friday, April 8th

We are deep into enrollment and planning for the 2022-2023 school year. St. John’s wants all families to be able to send their children to this school if they wish a Christian education for their children. We do not want cost to be a barrier. 
If you will need financial aid for next year, please email Mrs. Mannes: t.mannes@stjohnslagrange.org. The amount of money the church has to award is limited, and will likely be less than last year. Awards will be granted to families showing the greatest need.
The deadline to contact Mrs. Mannes is Friday, April 8th. Decisions will be finalized by May 13th.
There are other ways to subsidize your tuition. Families have the capability of earning thousands of dollars off their tuition through the TRIP program. You can also take advantage of our Referral Discount program. 
As a church and school, we are blessed to be a blessing to others. Christian education has continued at St. John’s for over 130 years. We want to continue to provide this blessing to your family. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Mannes.
We congratulate the following students for earning Accelerated Reader Certificates:

Rising 1: Auggie Coulter
Rising 2: August Dimoff
Rising 3: Gianni Damergis
Super 1: Isaac Zeman

Double your Donation to St. John’s!
 
Did you know that many employers match dollar for dollar the charitable gifts their employees make? Some will double- or even triple-match an employee’s donation, which is a terrific way to maximize your ability to contribute to St. John’s. Your $100 contribution can easily turn into a $200 or even $300 gift for the school, with a match from your company. Check with your HR department to find out if your employer has a matching gift program. If so, please consider giving a gift to St. John’s and multiplying your impact!

St. John's Tax ID#: 36-2317628
Reminder: The Sock Hop is a family event.
All students must have an adult present.

·        Serve as a cashier any time after 9:30am for an hour or two.

If you are willing to volunteer your time to help during the Plant Sale, please return the form below to the school office by sending it in your child’s folder, dropping it in the mail slot, or emailing a copy to t.mannes@stjohnslagrange.org. Many hands make light work, and we have lots of fun.
