Dear
SJV Families,
The students are enjoying the snow now that it
has warmed up so we can go outside. Mr. Sandhurst has sprayed a ring
around the snow hill so the students know they are to stay outside the ring.
Please be sure your student has hats, gloves, boots, snowpants. Thank you.
Check out our website. The calendar and
lunch menu continue to be there. We are planning to improve our website
beginning in February so stay posted. If you have any pictures of
school events, please email them to us. Thank you Julie Klages for keeping
this updated. The website is www.sjvschool.net
The Geography Bee is scheduled for Friday,
January 8th at 1:30 PM. This year’s participants include 4th
grader Colby Kuhl; 5th graders: Maddie Hennager, Alex Jette,
Tony Joseph, and Mikayla Soelter; 6th graders: Kaitlyn Cihoski,
Hunter Handevidt Anagha Komaragiri, Sydney Leichtnam, and Marisa Nelson.
Good job students and good luck!!
Enclosed in this week’s Friday Folder is
information on the talent show planned for this year’s upcoming Catholic
Schools Week which will be celebrated January 31th-February 5th.
The Variety Show, always a crowd favorite, is a great opportunity for the
children to perform and be recognized in front of the other school children.
With the approaching Christmas vacation, the break would give the kids a great
opportunity to prepare an act. Please encourage your family to
participate. We had some great family acts last year. Let’s make
this year’s Variety Show the “biggest” ever! It will be February 5th
at 6:30 PM. We will again have a pizza supper before the show for those
who want to come. We
are still in need of a Variety Show Chair person!!!!
Catholic Schools Week activities will be published in a later newsletter.
We are having the play “Rikkie Recycle and the Eko Kidz” by students from
Minnesota
State
University
-
Mankato
, on Tuesday, February 2nd at 9:00 PM.
All fourth grade girls are invited to join the 5th
grade girls basketball team. The girls can play on both the 3rd
and 4th grade team and the 4th and 5th grade
team if that would fit into the family schedule. The fifth grade girls
team has only 5 girls so they need some assistance.
Ron has DVDs available of the Christmas program
if you are interested. The cost is $5 and let the office know if you want
one. Thanks Ron for doing this!!!!
We still need a concession chair person!!!!! January 4th
will be here soon. Do we really want a basketball game without
concessions?????
Is there a parent who needs points but because of
working is not able to get into the school. We have the perfect job for
you to do at home. We need someone to do the Boxtops for Education.
The job entails counting the box tops and preparing them for mailing.
Please call the school office if you are interested.
We have several 6th grade students
that are not turning in their homework on time. We began a noon study hall
for those students on Monday. The teachers send the student to the library
after they eat lunch to get their assignments done and I supervise. We
have held it every day this week.
May I take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you
a Merry Christmas and a wonderful and a Blessed New Year 2010. All of the
Schaffer children and spouses will be home this year. In the hustle and
bustle, let us remember the true reason for
the season. Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus!!
All of us at
St. John

are so grateful that your family has chosen our school. Thank you for your
continued support! May we continue to provide quality education for years
to come!
