Principal's Corner

Dear families,

Galatians 3:26-27
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

In the inspiring words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” and here at Saint John the Baptist we reflected that philosophy at the festival. Thank you to all who made the event here fun, safe, and inspiring to all who attended. I was beyond impressed at the servitude and energy that I was able to witness; this is indeed a fantastic community!

We have a lot of activities and fundraisers coming up in the next few weeks. Please do what you can to help the school community, whether it is volunteering to drive for a field trip, selling an extra cube of cookie dough, or coming in to help with lunches. Students’ love to see their families involved at school! Please continue the great work that you do! 

Speaking of great work… please mark your calendars for Oct. 24th. The teachers will be working at McDonald’s on Rudisill that night, and would love to see you!

One of the goals for the school this year is to improve our Catholic identity. This is our core, it defines us. Every teacher in this building ensures that your child is receiving a faith-based education. We strive to help students understand the faith, and most importantly to live and be active participants in their faith. In order to achieve this goal, Mrs. Kinney, the School Board, and myself are trying to incorporate more books into our library that focuses on the development of faith and promotion of our identity. Do you have an idea or some time to help? We would love to get more families on board as we move our school community to the next level in our development of identity.

Together in Christ,
Amanda Robinson
