***Easter Break / No School - April 6-10th


Save the Date - Saturday, May 13th
We will be having wood chips delivered for our playground, and we will need LOTS of help to spread the wood chips.
Please reserve the morning of Saturday, May 13th to help.  We plan to work from 8am-Noon.  Many hands make light work!
The plan is to have a couple of Bobcats to load wheelbarrows/hand carts with the wood chips that parent volunteers can wheel to where they are needed to dump and spread with rakes and pitchforks. 

SJL School Advisory Board
St. John LaLande School has a School Advisory Board that meets monthly and advises the school administration, Father McCaffery and Mrs. Martin, on policy formation, long range planning, marketing and development for enrollment and finances.  There is a link on our school website to view the monthly minutes once they are approved.  The minutes from the February meeting are attached below.
