Character Counts
This year St. John's is implementing a new curriculum called Character Counts. Character Counts is a framework centered on basic values called the Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.
All students have been introduced to these six pillars and what they look like and sound like when we follow them. The staff is on the look out for anyone going above and beyond ... being a good character. There is also a reward system set up at school to track the number of times a student has been recognized following one of the six pillars.
Our goal with this program is to build the students into model citizens and to follow and live out the ways of Jesus in everything we do, think and say.

WELLNESS CORNER
The St. John's Wellness Team is suggesting the following items to be appropriate daily snacks. They are things such as crackers, mini carrots, bananas, cheese, grapes, dry cereal & trail mix. Foods to avoid sending for daily snack would be items such as chips, candy, cookies, cakes/cupcakes & ice-cream. Please avoid sending cakes/cupcakes, candy and chips for birthday treats.
We want to thank you for your continued support of making our students' lives healthy in the areas of eating habits, physical activity and their overall nutrition education.
