FAITH HOURS
A big thank you is extended to all the people who have done and are continuing to do such a fantastic job of fulfilling their FAITH hours at St. John. We appreciate your tremendous efforts and support of the many programs at our school. If you are still looking for ways to fulfill your required number of hours, please contact Joy Lou and we will help you find opportunities to volunteer.
SURVEY
The Finance Committee and the School Board are gathering information to see if families would be interested in using a credit card rather than writing a check to make their tuition payment each month. If the credit card option would become available, a convenience charge would be passed on to families each month as well.
If you would be interested in making your tuition payments with a credit card, please e-mail Joy Lou.
INSIGHT SUBSCRIBERS
If you are an Insight subscriber and are changing to Comcast, please e-mail Joy Lou at

RELAY FOR LIFE
The PTF is once again sponsoring a team for the Champaign Relay for Life to be held on May 17th and 18th. As part of our fund-raising efforts we have planned a pizza night at Village Inn on the corner of Springfield and Mattis for Monday, April 7th. 15% of our sales will go to the Relay for Life team's total. Fliers are available in the school office and on the Narthex table to take with you. One is also attached to this newsletter. This flier will need to be presented to your server if you dine-in, or the cashier if you order take-out. Spend a night out with your family and help support our Relay for Life team. Thrivant Financial is making a $500 donation to the Relay for Life on behalf of our St. John Team.
ATHLETICS
The Athletic Department is looking for someone who would like to coach the JV Soccer Team for next year. Please contact the school office if you are interested.
FISH FRY
The St. John Men’s Club is hosting a Fish Fry in the School Gym on April 11, 2008 from 4:30 – 7:00. Adults are $8.00 and Children are $5.00. Proceeds will go to the St. John Athletic Department. Tickets may be purchased in the school office. Plan an evening of no cooking and come enjoy fish and fellowship at St. John!
CROSS COUNTRY INVITATION
We are looking for 5th – 8th graders who are looking for an adventure. Have you ever jumped over a snake, ran with a potato chip in your hand, or ran around cow chips? Do your parents let you throw water balloons or have Jell-O/pudding fights? Maybe you want to learn how to play Ultimate Frisbee or play Capture the Flag? How do you get to do this and more? Come join the two biggest kids on the planet, Mr. Drebes and Dr. Rose, for the 2008 Cross Country Season. Oh yea, sometimes we even run and go to races.
