Being a TIGER
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A TIGER
Yearly MANTRA
Every year our wise and enthusiastic Principal, Mr. Filice, comes up with a new mantra for the students and staff to use as their guide. Each morning he ends the assembly with that saying. For the 2023 - 2024 school year these words can be heard far and wide:
“MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR GOOD TODAY”
and the student body responds,
“AND MAKE GOOD CHOICES TODAY!”
MORNING Assembly
The morning assembly is an important part of both our day and week. It sets the tone and is the most accurate example of what it means to be a St. John Tiger. For 15 minutes every day, rain or shine, we gather as a community on the black top or virtually.
Grades TK through 8th pray together, pledge, acknowledge our athletic teams, cheer for important individual accomplishments and sing to anyone celebrating a birthday.
On specific occasions our student council challenges members of the student body to fun trivia and other competitions or reports on the status of whatever service project we are working on as a school. This time illustrates what it is to be a Tiger.
Being a TIGER
Being a Tiger means understanding the importance of community, faith, generosity, and understanding. These are just a few of the attributes our staff prides themselves on embodying, while guiding our students to do the same.
We work to provide the kids with an environment that is safe and rewarding, and for all of the faculty and staff who get to be a part of this team, these students, past and present, are at the core of our purpose. We are #TigerStrong.
