THANKS FOR A GREAT SCHOOL YEAR!
Books are collected, the markers are put away, and lockers and desks have been cleaned out. School is over. Kindergarten and 1st Grade had awesome programs to help end the school year well. School is over. 8th Grade graduation is tonight, and we will be saying good-bye to 84 graduates as they prepare to enter high school. School is over, but the love and support of our teachers for your children will carry on into next school year. School is over, but the message of God’s love and grace will be a lasting impression upon your children for the rest of their lives.
I want to wish all of the students a safe and enjoyable summer break. I want to give a fond farewell and God’s blessings to all those who are graduating or leaving our school. I would like to thank all of the parents for their support for St. John’s, the school staff, and for me. Throughout the many changes this year, God has been our guide and has blessed us through our awesome teachers and our wonderful students. Next school year, I will be returning as your Assistant Principal. As we await Mr. Einem’s arrival, I hope and pray that we all get some rest, get reenergized, and get ready for another great school year.
Thank you for Working Together in Christ (WTC),
Dave Stuewe
