Good afternoon! Here are this week's news and announcements from St. Johns Country Day School:

  • Grade 6- Hadley Price
  • Grade 7- Olivia Morris
  • Grade 8- Vedant Mathur (not pictured)

Congratulations, students!


Grandparents Day Reminders

We look forward to seeing Lower School grandparents and grand friends on Grandparents Day this Friday, March 8! Golf cart transportation will be available for those who may need assistance.

Also, while Grandparents Day is just for Grandparents and grand friends, we are looking for volunteers to help make it a special day. Please click here to sign up to help with refreshments or the Book Fair on Grandparents Day.

Finally, parents, we look forward to seeing you for our Parent Preview this Thursday, March 7, at 8:30 a.m. for your own special viewing of everything your children have been working on for Grandparents Day!

Congratulations to last week’s Nichols & Pina Spartan Athlete of the Week Jules Raimondi! Jules had two hits and eight strikeouts on the mound for the Spartans in their 4-1 victory over St. Joe last week, and is committed to Rollins College to play softball next year. Congratulations Jules!
