Principal's CornerGreetings,
Last week was exciting for our students. staff, and parents. First, I would like to thank Mrs. Napier and her helpers for the fantastic job putting together the art show. The art show was a tremendous opportunity to showcase another of the students' many talents. Secondly, I would like to thank Mrs. Mullikin and her volunteers for all their hard work in putting together field day. The students had a blast with all the activities and games. The finale was an "egg drop" from the fire truck ladder. Some of the eggs survived the drop. However, the students seemed to enjoy it more when the eggs hit and splattered. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. McCarty for donating all the beautiful flowers around the school and church. Mrs. Hayden, Mrs. Pendleton, and the BETA club worked hard planting all the flowers - great job! I greatly appreciate these people and the many others who put in countless hours to make St. John a fantastic school. Most of our field trips are over and we are settling in for the last two weeks of school. We still have a lot to do in getting the students ready for next year!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
