SERVICE TO SCHOOL SIGN UP

Dear JPII family,

I hope this letter finds you well. I would like to start off by thanking the students and faculty who wore purple in honor of Mr. Elliott on Friday. Saturday morning the school hosted his funeral service in the Performing Arts Center attended by family, friends, faculty, and students. Please continue to keep the Elliott family in your prayers.

I would also like to thank the junior class for hosting our Homecoming Dance Saturday night under the leadership of Mrs. Lyles. It was wonderful seeing our Saints dancing and having a good time together!

We have an exciting week upon us! Thursday and Saturday nights our performing arts department will present Dinner at Eight, Dead by Nine. Friday evening we will host our final regular-season football game against Parrott Academy. During halftime of the game, we will have a special on-field recognition for all fall sport student-athletes. We greatly appreciate your support of our growing arts department and athletic programs.

Before I close, I want to reiterate just how important parent involvement is at our school. Our faculty and staff appreciate everything you do to make JPII not just a school, but a community. In the past week, the following families gave of their time and I want to recognize them for their time and talents: Atkinson, Dawson-Barnett, Donica, Galinis, Geiger, Koesters, Malcolm, Reddick, and Roseborough.

In Christ,

Katie Stanley, Principal

OPEN HOUSE TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 13

If you know someone who is considering JPII for their student (or should be!), please share with them that we will be hosting an Open House on Saturday, November 13 from 9:30-11:00 a.m.

"ASK A JPII PARENT" VOLUNTEER TO SHARE YOUR JPII EXPERIENCE

Prospective parents often ask about family involvement at our school and our "Ask a JPII Parent" program puts them directly in touch with current parents to ask questions, share concerns, or get the inside scoop on being a part of the JPII family. While the time commitment is not significant, the impact is! Most of those who have volunteered are local and parents of boys, so it would be great to add parents who live outside of Greenville/Winterville and more parents of daughters. If you would like to volunteer, please email Doug Smith.

SPIRIT NIGHT AT FIVE GUYS

Cross “make dinner” off your to-do list for this Wednesday and help raise money for JPII by participating in the Spirit Night at Five Guys in Greenville. In order for JPII to receive credit for your purchase, please download and print this flyer to give to Five Guys when you pay your bill.
