It’s Auction Week – Are You READY? 

It’s hard to believe that after all the hard work of so many, and in the midst of such nuttiness all around us, it is time for the St John School Auction. While we cannot celebrate in person this year, we look forward to celebrating with all of you virtually. Each one of us still has the opportunity to celebrate our Eagle Spirit and contribute to our fundraising goal of $350,000. Money raised goes directly to our school’s operating budget.

The school is asking you to support the 2020 Fund-A-Need: Replacement of original school windows on the north side of the main building. This multi-year initiative, starting in 2006, to replace all school windows can be completed with your help. Our targeted goal for Fund-a-Need is $100,000+. A St. John family has generously agreed to match up to $50,000 in pledges. Please make a gift to Fund-a-Need so we can trigger this amazing match! All money donated to the 2020 Fund-a-Need will be combined with an existing window budget reserve to complete the projected $410,000 project. Thank you for your generosity and for Being True to Our School.   Thank you to the Merlino family and Rainbows & Unicorns Entertainment LLC for this fantastic 2020 Fund-a-Need video.
