Assistant Track Coach(es) Needed

St. John’s is looking for some help coaching track. If you have any experience with long jump, triple jump, throwing, or any type of running that would be great. If not that’s ok too. Mr. Loveless will be head coaching and will be happy to give you as much, or as little, guidance as you are comfortable with in working with your group of kids. This will be an opportunity to earn service hours. If you are interested please contact Mr. Loveless at a.loveless@stjohnslagrange.org.

Save the Date!

VIP Day is March 10th!

VIP Day is an exciting morning when we share our wonderful school with a VIP, such as grandparents, aunts or uncles, cousins, or a grown-up friend. VIPs will get to view students' art work, visit classrooms for fun activities, and attend a chapel service with special music including Junior Choir and the Spring Musical!

Early dismissal will be at 11:00am.

Reservations will be required.

Invitations to share with your VIPs will be coming soon!
