Student Life

Student Council

At St. John's leadership abilities are cultivated and developed in all students, but some Lower School students have an equal opportunity to shine by running for a Student Council office and participating in class elections. Executive office positions include President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Safety Patrol. Children who wish to run for an executive office position will create an election campaign and present a short speech to the St. John's; faculty and students as to why they are the best candidate for the position.  Those elected help to plan events and see that student voices are heard on campus.

Violin

St. John's students in Fourth and Fifth Grade attend weekly violin classes. Violin students perform at several events on campus including, Christmas Program, Spring Program, Graduation. Students are required to each have their own violin for class and for home use. Violins may be rented or purchased. Mrs. Margaret Prectl  coordinates our strings program.  Contact Mrs. Prechtl (link to her teacher page here) to find out more about her, the strings program, and places to purchase or rent a violin.
