Day of Giving Thursday
We are so excited about our second annual Day of Giving, coming this Thursday, April 4, 2019. Day of Giving is a one-day call to action to pledge your financial support to the students, the faculty, and the experience of St. Johns Country Day School, and our 2019 Day of Giving is a tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, who together have devoted 90 years of service (and counting!) to our school. Please make a gift to St. Johns on Thursday in celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Fisher. Click here to learn more about Day of Giving and the founding of St. Johns Country Day School.
