SJPDS Summer Camps

Early Childhood and Lower School Spots Are Filling Up!

Summer fun starts here! Early Childhood Summer Camp at St. John’s Parish Day School provides a safe and enriched environment for children ages 3.5 to entering Kindergarten. From June 10 – August 16, 2024, each week explores a unique theme that’s sure to spark curiosity and a love of learning through fun and engaging hands-on explorations. Each activity is developed specifically with young children in mind as St. John's strives to instill a sense of wonder and creative discovery while also celebrating childhood.

Our St. John's Parish Day School Lower School Summer Camp runs for six weeks: June 24 – August 2, 2024, with different themes each week. Open for children in Kindergarten through fifth grade, and with options for full and partial-day sessions, we offer something for everyone. All sessions are open to non-St. John’s Parish Day School students.

In celebration of Read Across America Week and Dr. Seuss’s birthday, students can participate in a Book Swap in our school Library! Please send a gently used children’s book to school with your child on their library day during the week of March 4th - March 8th. They will then be able to select a book from our Book Swap table and this book will be theirs to keep!

100 Days of School!

Our Bears celebrated 100 Days of School and 100 Days Smarter last Friday! They had a blast with all of the fun activities our incredible teachers planned for them! They built towers of 100 cups, collected 100 things, made 100 Days necklaces, created their 100 Days Smarter hats, and some even dressed up as 100-year-olds! It was a great day all around, and we are so proud of each and every one of our students for their hard work and dedication to learning. Go Bears!
