Partners in Education

Our Mission

Partners in Education aims to support the Christian community of St. John students, families, and staff.

Our Goals

1) Provide social opportunities for families

2) Recognize and support teachers, staff, and students

3) Promote school spirit

Our Plan

We partner with Kids in Action nights to provide a meals to our school families and community. We also offer Drop-in Breakfasts throughout the year in conjunction with a morning chapel service. Families are given the opportunity to help and are encouraged to invite others to attend.

We also create ways to show appreciation for our teachers and staff throughout the year on behalf of all St. John families. We assist in planning and supporting celebrations and events throughout the school year, such as new teacher welcomes, staff farewells, Back-to-School events during the first week for students, teachers & parents, Teacher Appreciation Week, Pastor appreciation, and Lutheran Education week.

Finally, we coordinate fundraisers to help raise money for our St. John Technology Fund, as well as for other school and student needs.
