'Tis the season..... to start a new tradition. As we know, the St. John family is big on tradition! We have events every year, that we look forward to celebrating with students and staff. This holiday season brought us a new tradition, thanks to a few "Saint-a's Elves." The idea of having a campus Christmas tree was brought to us by some St. John families and they purchased the tree for the school. Students across campus worked during two days creating blue and golden ornaments to adorn our over 10' tall tree. Stringing popcorn for garland and adding glitter to stars and fleur de lis, put the students right into the spirit of the season.
During study hall times, high school students joined in the courtyard to hang decorations and garland. What a huge surprise it was for the middle school and elementary school students to open their classroom doors to go outside for lunch and catch the first glimpse of the giant school Christmas tree. "I've been here a long time, and we've never done anything quite like this before," said sophomore Kristy Gray. Visit the middle school courtyard to see our school Christmas tree. And with this season, another St. John tradition is born. We can't wait to see it next year!
