Assistant Dean / Associate Professor (361) 593 2369 ----- Dear Parents and Guardians, It really is the most wonderful time of the year. At this time, and always, I am so grateful to be a part of this community and the lives of our children and families. I thank you for your generosity in so many ways. I see the Advent service lists fill up in a blink and the Winter Relief lists equally as fast; I see our children caroling out in the community; I watch our teachers in action; I hear about our 8th graders serving dinner at Sarah’s House; and then you ask, what more can we do? Our hearts overflow with the love that surrounds us at home and here at St. John. With that love growing more each moment, we look to the coming of Jesus in 11 days, and the knowledge that the love we give and receive here is magnified by the love that we are given from God every day. Have a blessed week!

We can’t wait to see where our St. John love will go! End of Year Giving for SJE The end of the year is a great time for giving at St. John, for all non-profits, for all of us who strive to make this world better and better each day. How do we do this at SJE? You know! By teaching children and nurturing their talents, by igniting creative thinking and inviting collaboration and teamwork, by understanding that our children today are the leaders of our world tomorrow. We LOVE our school, and we ask you to support us in making our corner of the world better for our children in your end of year giving, starting today.

We are looking for parents, grandparents, college students, etc. to help judge our 7th and 8th grade projects. We will have one judging session from 8:30 am-12:00 pm.

Family Mass for Christmas On Christmas Eve we will celebrate a Family Mass at 4pm in the auditorium. The Children’s Choir will lead us in song. The homily will be geared toward children, yet meaningful for adults. We need many youth and families to take an active part as Greeters, Lectors, Ushers and Gift Bearers. Families will also be needed to distribute bulletins, books and gifts for children after the Mass. If you are interested in helping, please contact John Poland at jpoland@stjohnsp.org or 410 647-4892. Play Like a Champion Parent Note for December Although some of the points here have been considered in previous notes, I encourage you to read down to the three points for parents’ perspective in youth sports. I like the idea of thinking about quality instead of quantity especially. It can be difficult in a score-driven arena! Read the article here.

The trip will depart from Newcastle Airport on Friday 19th October 2018 and return on Tuesday 23rd October. Whilst in New York, pupils will have the opportunity to visit some of the cities iconic attractions such as: the Empire State Building, Times Square and the Statue of Liberty and they will also watch a Broadway show. There is also opportunity for the group to explore in Central Park and we will also fit in some shopping time. The cost of the trip will be £1000 and includes the following: • Return flights to and from New York from Newcastle • Airport Transfers • Three night’s hotel accommodation with breakfast in the centre of Manhattan • Visits to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Empire State building and the 911 Memorial • Tickets to a Broadway show (exact show TBC) • All meals If you would like your child to be involved in the trip, I request that a non-refundable deposit is paid to secure your child’s place. This will be £100 and payable by Monday 18th December 2017 to Cardinal Hume School. Flexible payment will be available during the remainder of the school year with the final balance due 12 weeks before departure. It is essential that your child has a valid passport for travel in October. In the unlikely event that we do not meet the minimum number of pupils to travel deposits will be returned. We are pleased to inform you that Cardinal Hume Catholic School now has the facility to accept online payments for trips and other school activities. Using a secure website called ParentPay you are able to pay online using your credit or debit card. This can be accessed from the School website and you will by now, have received your ParentPay log in. If you are unable to locate this, please contact the school office for assistance. Making a payment using your credit or debit card is straightforward. Your card details are not retained by the school. ParentPay holds an electronic record of all online payments for you to view at a later date. When you make a payment, an e-mail confirmation is sent to you, giving you reassurance that the transaction has been successful. As a reminder please follow instructions below Once you have your login details, the system is quick and easy to use: • Visit www.parentpay.com ( • Enter your activation username and password in the Account Login section of the homepage.

We thank you in advance for your support in using this service to pay for your child’s educational visit. May I also take this opportunity to remind all parents that it is crucial that those students participating in the trip can be trusted to behave in a responsible and mature way. As the leader of the visit, I have to be confident that those taking part do not jeopardise the safety and enjoyment of the trip for others. Students are also reminded that they will be representing the school during the visit, and it is therefore essential that they behave appropriately. With this in mind, I will be closely monitoring the behaviour in school of those students involved in the visit. If any student is considered to have the potential to jeopardise the success of the visit, then I am afraid that they will be unable to participate and their places will be offered to other students and deposits will not be refunded. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the trip, do not hesitate to contact me at school. Thank you in advance for your support of what promises to be an excellent visit and opportunity for our pupils. Yours sincerely Miss A. Bone (Teacher of English) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPLY SLIP - New York October 2018 I consent to my child attending the New York Trip in October 2018.
