Help Make Our FUNdraiser a Success!
Our FUNdraiser Auction is fast approaching. There are many ways to support this exciting event.
Please consider donating an item or items to the themed baskets listed below. The items will be arranged into EAGLE BASKETS for the silent auction! Instead of each classroom creating their own basket this year, we have chosen these 4 themes that anyone can contribute to. These are important items for the financial success of the auction and a great way to support St. John's Lutheran School.
- Fun at the Pool
- Baking/Cooking
- Outdoor activities/games
- Game Night (Children and adult)
Send in items to your child's teacher by Friday, January 20! If you have any questions or concerns please contact the PLANNING COMMITTEE at auction@stjohnslagrange.org.

All School Open House
January 29, 12:00pm-2:00pm
On January 29th, we will open our school to prospective school families and give them the opportunity to tour the school, receive information, meet staff, and get answers to any questions they may have. Our best recruitment comes through the words of parents, children, and congregation members.
We encourage all current parents to invite another family that could benefit from a quality, Christ-centered education at St. John’s. As an incentive for school families to recruit new students, there is a $250 incentive toward your children’s tuition (2023-24) for each new family who enrolls because of your influence.
We are also looking for families that will help give tours. Please contact Mrs. Johnson (s.johnson@stjohnslagrange.org) if you are available!
Please share the attached flier!

Basketball Tournament - Thank You!
We would like to thank all of the people who helped make our Basketball Tournament a huge success. We had nine different schools involved with eight boys teams, four girls teams, and two cheerleading squads. Thank you to all who donated their time by helping set up, work concessions, work admissions, work the score table, and clean up. Thank you also to all who donated money or items for the tournament as well. Thank you for all your prayers that all would go well. We couldn’t have accomplished this without all your help.
Elise Dalton & Tom Wykert, Athletic Directors
