🎄✨ Tiny hands, big creativity! St. John TK friends had a blast building jingle bell houses with Magnatiles—holiday fun and STEM all in one!





🎄The annual Giving Tree is LIVE and many tags are still available!
Be sure to grab a tag TOMORROW at the first home basketball game in St. John vs Dayton 🏀 or THIS WEEKEND downtown at Webb's Empire Foods during St. John Winterfest ❄️
Thank you so very much for your continued support of the Giving Tree project!

St. John School Families, we need your help!
As we move deeper into the winter months, we are seeing an increasing number of students, across all grade levels, who are in need of warm clothing and basic necessities. We have had several situations recently where students needed hats, mittens, coats, socks, or even a full change of clothing, and our supply is running extremely low.
If you happen to have new or gently used items you’re willing to donate, it would make a tremendous difference.
Most-needed items (youth & adult sizes):
• Pants/Leggings/Sweatpants
• Shirts/Sweatshirts
• Socks/Shoes
• Winter Gear (snow pants, snow boots, mittens, gloves, hats, coats)
Your generosity will directly support our students and ensure no child goes without what they need to feel comfortable, warm, and cared for during the school day.
Thank you so much for always stepping up for our kids. Your kindness matters more than you know. ❤️
With appreciation,
Ms. Strong

❄️ Winter is Here! ❄️
As the temperature drops, please remember to send students to school with warm, weather-appropriate clothing — hats, mittens/gloves, coats, snow pants, and boots. We will hold outdoor recess whenever possible because fresh air and movement are so important for our kids!
If your student is in need of any winter gear, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the school — we’re here to help!
Stay warm🧣❤️

Today is a beautiful reminder that kindness doesn’t have to be big or perfect, it just has to be real.
A smile, a soft answer, a helping hand, a moment of patience… it all matters.
Let’s choose to lead with compassion today.
Let’s show our kids what it looks like to lift others up.
Let’s be the reason someone feels seen, valued, and supported. 💛
A little kindness truly goes a long way. 🌍✨

REMINDER: Requests are due Friday, 11/14/2025
Dear St. John and Endicott Families,
The National Honor Society has been established to recognize and encourage academic achievement, while developing the ideals of character, service, and leadership. This year the St. John-Endicott Eagle Chapter of the National Honor Society has once again chosen The Giving Tree as a service project this holiday season.
The purpose of The Giving Tree is to ensure that families in St. John and Endicott have a wonderful holiday season. Those who participate will have their request for gifts listed on a tag and hung on The Giving Trees at locations in St. John and Endicott. All personal information is
kept confidential and only seen by authorized school personnel. Only the request will appear on the tag (for example, GIRL - SIZE 7 TENNIS SHOES).
IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE GIVING TREE:
● 10/29-11/14/2025: Please submit your requests for you and your family members.
● 11/14-11/21/2025: Requests will be processed.
● 11/25-12/8/2025: Trees will be placed in the following locations: Empire Foods (Marilyn’s), St. John School, Endicott School and Endicott Food Center
● 12/8/2025: Gifts Due to the respective schools.
● 12/8-12/15/2025: Processing and organizing gift packages.
● 12/15-12/19/2025: Gift Pick Up
The National Honor Society will collect and process these gifts for distribution before the winter holiday break. If you feel that you need a little extra help this holiday season and would like to participate in The Giving Tree, please fill out the attached form, and return it to Angie Shields or Rob Case at St. John High School, or Tricia Jeffries at Endicott school as soon as possible. These forms are also available in the St. John and Endicott school offices. Forms will be accepted until November 14, 2025. All participating families will be contacted to pick up their gifts before the holiday break.
Email rcase@sjeschools.org if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Rob Case
