 Ms. Burant's students got hands-on experience with shapes by playing the Mystery Shape game. They had to identify the shapes in the bag by describing the attributes of plane and solid shapes.

 SJV was at the Brookfield Farmer's Market! Students helped provide entertainment to market- goers this past weekend. |
 After celebrating her 91st birthday, Dorothy J. Augustin went to join her father, God. The most wonderful building in the world to Dorothy Augustin was the library and she was always reading one or more books with at least one more in the queue. A faithful volunteer, she volunteered at the Saint John Vianney Library for over 40 years and was affectionately known as the "Book Doctor" by the children. Memorials were made to the St. John Vianney School library in her name. Dorothy loved picture books and with the donations, several of her favorite titles will be purchased along with other picture books and children's literature from the library's wish list. |

Thank you to all who participated in the 2015-2016 parent survey. We had a strong response with approximately 75% of school families completing the survey! Your feedback is incredibly valuable to Saint John Vianney School. You may be asking, what does SJV do with the data? The results from the parent survey really accomplish two things. First, the results validate and confirm areas of strength for our school. Secondly, the survey identifies opportunities for improvement and growth. We take our parent feedback very seriously, and the feedback we receive is often reflected in our school improvement goals for the following year. Below you will find the trends that surfaced from the 2015-16 parent survey:
