St. John School Families, we need your help!
As we move deeper into the winter months, we are seeing an increasing number of students, across all grade levels, who are in need of warm clothing and basic necessities. We have had several situations recently where students needed hats, mittens, coats, socks, or even a full change of clothing, and our supply is running extremely low.
If you happen to have new or gently used items you’re willing to donate, it would make a tremendous difference.
Most-needed items (youth & adult sizes):
• Pants/Leggings/Sweatpants
• Shirts/Sweatshirts
• Socks/Shoes
• Winter Gear (snow pants, snow boots, mittens, gloves, hats, coats)
Your generosity will directly support our students and ensure no child goes without what they need to feel comfortable, warm, and cared for during the school day.
Thank you so much for always stepping up for our kids. Your kindness matters more than you know. ❤️
With appreciation,
Ms. Strong

❄️ Winter is Here! ❄️
As the temperature drops, please remember to send students to school with warm, weather-appropriate clothing — hats, mittens/gloves, coats, snow pants, and boots. We will hold outdoor recess whenever possible because fresh air and movement are so important for our kids!
If your student is in need of any winter gear, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the school — we’re here to help!
Stay warm🧣❤️

As we step into this season of gratitude, we want to take a moment to recognize the heart, strength, and spirit that make St. John and Endicott such extraordinary communities. Our cooperative is more than a shared program or partnership — it’s a family. It’s neighbors helping neighbors, students cheering each other on, staff going the extra mile, and families showing up for one another every single day.
We are incredibly thankful for our hardworking staff, our resilient and caring students, and our supportive families who continue to pour love, trust, and dedication into our schools. Because of you, our halls are filled with laughter, learning, and endless possibilities.
May your holiday be filled with warmth, joy, delicious food, and the people who lift your spirit. Take time to breathe, rest, and soak in the beautiful moments — big and small.
From our SJE family to yours…
🦃 Happy Thanksgiving!
We are grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️💛

We currently only have one tree available at the school and are looking for additional artificial trees—large or small—to borrow for the season (or to keep if you no longer need them).
If you have an extra tree in storage not being used this year, we'd love to give it new life in our classrooms! Your donation would help make this project extra special for our students.
Thank you for your continued support of our kids and school community! ❤️

Today is a beautiful reminder that kindness doesn’t have to be big or perfect, it just has to be real.
A smile, a soft answer, a helping hand, a moment of patience… it all matters.
Let’s choose to lead with compassion today.
Let’s show our kids what it looks like to lift others up.
Let’s be the reason someone feels seen, valued, and supported. 💛
A little kindness truly goes a long way. 🌍✨
