Events

Back to School Night – Begin the year joining other parents for an important evening in school.  You will have the chance to meet the Parents’ Association officers, Board of Trustees’ members, and of course your child’s teacher.  You will enjoy a visit to your child’s classroom.

Board of Trustees “Wine and Cheese Social” – This is an adult evening hosted by our Board to welcome you to the new year. Bring a bottle of wine to donate to a “wine cellar” silent auction item at our Gala. Often this event is also the formal launch of the school’s Annual Fund each year.

  Grandparents Day – Our children spend time with their very special guests in class and in Chapel. The school is filled with tremendous amounts of love and joy! 

Day School Book Fair – The Fair is a celebration of books and reading!  Occasionally, a special guest author will be on hand, and you will have the opportunity to buy some of the best books available for children.  Be sure to come for Story Night with your Kindergartener or First Grader.

Folktales and Legends Night - Students in Grades 2 & 3 come together for an evening of fantasy fun with Mom or Dad. 

Christmas Programs – Both the Early Childhood and the Lower School celebrate the beauty of the  Christmas season with songs and stories.  These are very  special evenings!

Tea with Mom and Time with Dad –Early Childhood students will spend special one-on-one time with Mom and Dad during these two events.

Annual "Gala" –  This is “the” adult event of the year!  Music, dancing, delicious food and great friends!  A sensational evening awaits you!  Funds raised from ticket sales as well as the silent and live auctions generally assist with the school’s financial aid funding. 

Time with Mom – Moms join their Kindergarten and Grade 1 children for a lovely morning or afternoon. We enjoy special activities and Chapel together.

Pizza with Pop – Dad, we mean you! Come enjoy pizza with your child during Lower School lunch time.  It is a great opportunity to spend time with your child during the school day.

Brunswick Stew Event - This relatively new event brings the men in our community togther as an opportunity to prepare ingredients late Friday night and to get back together early Saturday morning to cook a huge caldron of stew and a hearty breakfast over open fires.  This is a great male fellowship activity.

Movie Night and Alumni Reunion – Join your St. John’s friends on the field for a movie. Bring your lawn chair or blanket. Popcorn is sold by our Grade 4 class to raise funds for their trip to Echo Hill. Alumni are invited to attend along with their families – a great opportunity to connect with friends old and new.

Spring Programs – The sounds of spring may be birds and breezes, but at St. John’s we welcome spring with songs and music.

Night Out with Dad – Games, stories, and crafts keep the Dads and our Kindergarten and Grade 1 children laughing and having fun! What a great way to meet the other Dads too!  Students in Grade 4 use this event to raise money for their Grade 5 trip to Echo Hill.

Field Days – So much energy! A day of fun, games, and sports!

Closing for Early Childhood Families – Families attend Chapel in the church on the last day of school.

Moving Up – The children in the Lower School will attend a special event during Chapel to celebrate their move to the next grade.  Each grade is recognized with a pencil and children move to the seats they will take the following year in Chapel.  While this is a celebration for only the children, parents are encouraged to attend Joyful Noise.

Joyful Noise – Following the Moving Up ceremony, parents are welcome to join their children on the last day of school in ASH with instruments to make a “joyful noise”.
