Dear Parent Community,
On behalf of the Fundraising Committee, thank you to the parents, teachers and Mr. Comacchio who attended the Parents Night Out on Saturday January 18th at Balmy Beach Club.
Our theme this year was 80's, and the attendees didn't disappoint with their outfits. The His and Her Best Dressed Costume went to Ms. Lima for her Madonna outfit, and to Fergus Limerick for his Slash outfit - well done!
Through ticket sales and the silent auction, we are pleased to share that a net total of $5,091.85 was raised from the event! We are thrilled to put the funds right back into St. John to our children with the following initiatives, which were identified earlier in the school year:
Thank you also to the following individuals and local businesses for donating items to the silent auction:
The fundraising committee is now planning our last fundraiser, the Spring Carnival. Save the date - Saturday May 31st 11-3pm. This a great family event in the rear of the school with bouncy castles, magic show, and the ever-popular raffle baskets!
Thanks,
Tanya Bismayer and Sonia Pagliarello

On behalf of the Fundraising Committee, thank you for rallying all your children’s sponsors for the recent Halloween Dance. The children really enjoyed themselves at the dance - and their dance moves were quite impressive! We are thrilled to share that a net total of $9709.11 was raised from the dance! An amazing collective effort by all the students and families, with funds raised going towards some of the following initiatives previously identified including:
Event: Parent Nights Out. Let your hair down and enjoy an evening out
When: Saturday January 18th
Where: Balmy Beach Club
Theme: It’s the '80s. Get your Vaurnet shirts, preppy pinned pants, or anything fluorescent.
