Vision Statement
Inspired by our rich heritage and inspired by the struggles of our past, we at St. John XXIII Catholic School are called to express our mission as church, to pass on
the good news of Jesus Christ, to make it relevant in the world today and to be the hope for the future.

Our Senior Kindergarten students will be involved in their SK Movin’ On To Grade 1 celebration at
St. John XXIII on Friday, June 19th, 2015. The festivities will begin in the gym at 1:30 p.m. All
parents are invited to join us! More information will be sent home to families from the Kindergarten
teachers.
Our grade six class will participate in a special liturgical Leave-Taking Ceremony on Tuesday, June 23rd, 2015 at 10:00
a.m. Family and friends are invited to gather in the gym for this celebration. Refreshments will be served
to the graduates and their guests in the school foyer following the service. “Congratulations and Good
Luck” to all of our graduates! Wherever you go and whatever you do, please be reminded of the friendship and nurturing you were blessed with here at St. John XXIII. We are privileged to have had the opportunity to help build the framework for your future. Good luck at St. Joseph’s in the fall.
Closing school mass
The date for our closing school mass is Thursday, June 25th at 10 a.m. The school will be heading over to St. John Chrysostom Parish to celebrate our end of the school year mass with our parish priest, Fr. John Burchat. Please join us if you
can.
REPORT CARDS
Final report cards will be sent home with all students on Tuesday, June 23rd. Please make sure that
you take the time to review the report card with your child and then complete, sign and return page
three to school before the school year is over.
Moving over the summer?
Please notify the office or your child’s teacher if you will be moving over the summer and your child will not be joining us
in September.
Dress code
In the warmer weather, all tops should have shoulders covered (i.e., no spaghetti straps). All tops and bottoms
should overlap (no mid-sections showing). Shorts and skirts should be mid thigh in length. A good rule of
thumb is that shorts and skirts should be at least to the end of your fingertips whenever your arms are at your
side. We also suggest that students wear hats/caps whenever outside to protect them from the sun. Putting sunscreen on your child before they attend school each day is also recommended.
Calling all missing books!!!
We are missing a few books from our school library and a number of textbooks and novels from the classrooms. The cost to replace those books is frightening. Please search your households (especially children’s
bedrooms) for school books. You will be amazed at what you may find.
Good bye and good luck
Year end is also a time to say thanks to those who will be leaving us. We extend our very best wishes to Ms.
Erin Beaudry, and Mrs.Tracey Jeror as their teaching/support assignments come to a close at the end of the
school year. They have been a wonderful addition to our staff this year and we wish them much success in
the years to come.
A special thank you also to our tutors in the classroom: Alannah O’Neill, Ellen Flegal and Taylor Berube.
Great job!
SK/1, 1, 1/2 & 2 Classes Headed to the rodeo!
On Friday, June 12, many of our students will head over to the Arnprior Agricultural Area to learn more about animals
and rodeos. Our students will be there from 11-1 and will be eating their lunch there as well. More details will follow in a
note home.
Drumming Presentation
On Friday, June 5, students will be treated to a special Native Drumming Performance by students from St. James Catholic School in Eganville. Thank you to Myles Sabourin for organizing this event.
Bowling
All classes will be bowling once during the month of June. Notes will go home with date and times.
School supplies for September 2015
Like last September, As a school, we will supply the majority of items such as
pencils, erasers, scissors, notebooks, art supplies and agendas. Parents only
need to purchase school bags, lunch kits, pencil cases, indoor shoes and
headphones.
In September we will ask for $5.00 for each grade one to six student for an
agenda .
“Over the carp” cross country run in Fitzroy harbour
The St. John XXIII Spring Running Team will be participating in the annual Fitzroy Harbour Over the Carp Run on
Thurs., June 18. Thank you to Mrs. Flegal for training the students.
Masc Presentation
On Thurs., June 18, the students will have the opportunity to watch
an integrated dance performance by Propeller Group. The primary
students will have the opportunity to watch the performance entitled, “All the Buzz” and the junior students will watch the performance entitled, “Dream a Little Dream”. This is a special performance because integrated dance is highly innovative in that it pushes
movement research boundaries by exploring new principles of movement with dancers previously excluded from dance and performance. Propeller Dance signifies forward motion, propelling integrated dance into the future, creating new aesthetics in art and continuing to build community. Propeller Dance is the only organization
in Ontario with the sole mandate of providing dance programming to
children, youth and adults with and without disability. Becoming a leader in integrated dance in Canada, Propeller Dance
provides inclusive, accessible and integrated dance programming to people with and without disability. All professionals
are dedicated to the needs of people with disabilities. St. John XXIII will be in for a real treat with these performances!
School Council News
Hello Everyone:
I am here to report that we were extremely busy last month getting everything organized for our major fundraiser...MAYFEST. I have to say it was very successful. I saw many happy faces and lots of families out having fun together,
which is always a good sign. I want to THANK everyone who helped organize, set up, sell tickets. As well a big THANK
YOU to businesses who donated to the school, volunteers who went in search for donations, staff for helping, and everyone who made the night a great success. Our profit was over $5000.
We are always in need of volunteers so think about helping us come September for the new school year. We love new ideas and everyone has the ability to help and give back to our school community.
We have one more Parent Council meeting left this school year, it is on Wednesday, June 10th at 6pm in the library.
"Thank you" goes out to all who came out to help Parent Council this year and hope to see you next year. We hope you
have a wonderful summer with your families and please be safe.
Tracey Jeror, Chair
ST. John XXIII Track and Field
On Friday, May 12th, our junior division headed to the track at ADHS for our school’s track and field meet. Students
were able to participate in a variety of track events and several had great results. Many students will be moving on to participate in the McNab Track Meet and the SJHS Track Meet (June 12). Thank you to Mrs. Ryan for spearheading the organization of the meet and for all other teachers and parent volunteers who assisted in the great day!
