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!

Plant Sale Volunteers Needed
The Annual St. John’s Plant Sale is coming up on May 6th. We need adult volunteers on the day of the sale. We use the 8th Graders on Friday as helpers, but we also need adults. You could help in many ways:
·        Unload the trucks beginning at 6:00am.
·        Help sort pre-orders before the sale from 8:15 to about 9:30am.
·        Serve as a cashier any time after 9:30am for an hour or two.
·        Help inside the church directing students to take plants to customers’ cars in hour or two shifts after 10:00am.
·        Help bring in unsold plants on Friday evening about 4:30pm.
·        Help on Saturday, May 7th from 8:00am until the preorders and majority of the plants are gone.

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.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Mother’s Day is a few weeks away. Artsonia has beautiful gift ideas for Moms, Grandmothers, Aunts, and Godmothers.  Order a custom made gift for your special person to celebrate all they do for you. Artsonia has jewelry, mugs, notepads, and much more!
