Thank you From the Knights of Columbus
On behalf of the Knights of Columbus we wanted to extend a sincere THANK YOU to the school community for supporting the Charity Appeal Raffle tickets at the Christmas concerts. As always, the parents and family members of the students at St John XXIII were very generous in supporting us through the purchase of the raffle tickets, and most importantly helping us to continue funding the two scholarships we sponsor at St John Paul II. Congratulations to our most recent scholarship award recipients from St. John Paul II for 2017 (last academic year):
Emma Rockwell - $750
Megan Nixon - $500
Thank you for supporting the good works of the Knights!

News from Mr. Berg - Horizons Group
St. John XXIII Catholic School is pleased to have the Boys and Girls Club of Fort Saskatchewan back this year to provide students with their Horizon program that will support your child(ren) with feelings from family changes such as separation, divorce or blended families. Horizon is a unique 6 week group. Horizon provides a safe and confidential environment for children/youth to explore feelings through expressive art activities and small group work. Children will have the opportunity to meet new friends and to share personal stories. Each child will also receive a journal to take home at the end of the group. Sessions include Welcome to Horizon, Exploring Changes and Family, Exploring Marriage and Divorce, Exploring Feelings, Coping with Big Feelings, and Celebrating Self and Family Strengths. If you would like your son/daughter to participate in the Horizon program, or if you have more questions, please contact Paul Berg at paul.berg@eics.ab.ca or call 780-998-7777.
