St. John XXIII Catholic School
Leadership Message
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our St. John XXIII families for their continued support and encouragement. Our school is enjoying a successful year so far, with students learning, playing, and praying with energy and enthusiasm everyday. I would also like to thank the teachers and staff for their generous contributions to our school. Without their faithfulness and dedication, none of our daily success would be possible.

A HUGE thank you to our SJXXIII families for your support at the Book Fair!
It was amazing to see so many families shopping at the Book Fair. A special thank you to Ms. Trainor and her daughter for their effort with the decorations.
Our Book Fair was a tremendous success! We sold over $6900 worth of books, and earned over $3900 for new books.
Congratulations to all of our Book Fair winners. There were 18 winners in all!
