Kindergarten graduation will be Friday, June 7 @ 9:30 AM in Trinity Hall. 8TH Grade Graduation will be Friday, June 7 @ 7:30 PM in the Church, followed by a reception in Trinity Hall.

PLEASE,PLEASE have your children attend all week without interruption. Thank you! The day has finally arrived for me to "pay the piper." I promised the students that if they raised $20,000.00 at the October "Race for Education' fundraiser, I would sleep overnight on the school roof. They did it, and I will be on the roof from 2:30 PM Wednesday, April 17th until 7 AM on Thursday, April 18th. I will have a tent, cushions and sleeping bag, so 'don't cry for me Argentina.' The Fauquier Times Democrat and Christian radio WPRZ will be covering the event. Hopefully, we will get some positive publicity for the school (this is NOT the silliest thing I have done to promote a school). The PTO' s Spring fundraiser is slated for Saturday, April 27th, 6-10:30PM at the school. This year's Casino Night Theme-"Round-Up at St. John's Corral" will be a Western style showdown. Tickets are $50 each, which includes all food, open bar, casino chips and more. Last year was a complete hoot! God bless you all and have a great weekend! Art Fairweather

Older members of the TORCH Drama Club recently had auditions for their upcoming spring production, Oklahoma!

Page 5 St. John the Evangelist Catholic School Dress Code The dress code provides a standard for our students, which fosters an environment conducive to learning and respectful behavior. Final decisions regarding the school uniform rest with the principal/ administration. Uniform Requirements: School uniforms are to be worn with pride and according to school regulations. St. John students are expected to follow rules of good grooming and modesty. Uniforms are to be clean and in good repair. By complying with school rules regarding the wear of the proper school uniform, children are learning about responsibility and individual pride. All uniforms must be purchased from the designated uniform companies. A uniform non-compliance form will be issued for lack of uniform compliance which must be signed by the parents and returned to school the following day. The second noncompliance will result in calling the parent to pick the student up from school and obtain the correct uniform component out of compliance. The third violation will result in a disciplinary referral signed by the principal and filed in the permanent record. Uniform Guidelines: Shirts must remain neatly tucked in and belts must be worn when wearing pants or shorts. Ties are expected to be pulled up and top shirt buttons buttoned.
