ASH Wednesday

Wednesday, February 14th

To celebrate Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, SJPDS students will be saying special prayers, walking the Labyrinth and receiving ashes on Wednesday, February 14th. Chaplain Gigie will be hosting our Ash Wednesday services in AUD and students will walk our portable Labyrinth. If you do not wish for your child(ren) to attend or receive ashes on Ash Wednesday, you must email your child(ren)'s teacher by Tuesday, February 13th at 3:00 PM to let them know. We look forward to another wonderful Ash Wednesday service to begin our celebration of Lent!

For parents, our SJEC Clergy will offer ashes as you drive by the back side of the Historic Church from 8:30-9:30 AM and 2:00-3:00 PM on Ash Wednesday. There will also be a noon Ash Wednesday service in Historic Church for anyone wishing to participate.

Early Childhood Playground Updated

Last week, our Early Childhood Playground got an update when all new sand was poured in our sandbox! The sandbox is a favorite feature among our young Bears and students immediately flocked to the updated play area! A special thank you goes out to our very own Mr. Ray for working so hard to make our Early Childhood Playground (and our entire campus!) a beautiful, safe, and fun place for our children to learn and play. Check out some of our Bears playing in the sandbox

World Read Aloud Day

Wednesday, February 7th was World Read Aloud Day! Throughout our school, students spent time reading out loud, listening to stories, and getting together with their Book Buddies for reading time!

Reading is a huge part of our curriculum at SJPDS and we love how much our students love to read. We always encourage our students and their families to read together- it creates an incredible bond and helps to instill a love of reading in a child at their early formative years. Go Bears!

Spotlight SJPDS on Fox45!

A few months back, SLPDS was filmed for a segment on Fox45 News called B'More Lifestyle! Our very own Head of School, Ms. Dembo was interviewed about our school, the SJPDS commitment to education, what sets us apart as an independent school, and gave details about our wonderful curriculum and faculty. Check out our segment below and feel free to share it with others in and outside our community! We are so proud of the work we do here and honored that you have chosen St John's Parish Day School to provide education for your children. Go Bears!
