Welcome back!
We are now well into the Easter season, in celebration of our risen Lord. I hope your time together with your family was faith-filled, inspirational, and as the week progressed, restful.
Thank you to those who participated in the website survey. A couple of people mentioned that they don't like having the "links" within our website that take you to a random survey or advertisement and some think we are selling space to make money. The underlined words that trick you into thinking they are part of our website but they are not from us. You can use this link to remove the Adware from your computer. Thank you, Communications Committee for capturing the 5 Cs of St. John Bosco Christ - What makes St. John Bosco unique from public and other private schools is that we pray and grow in faith together, as we share in our belief of God. Curriculum - Our kids benefit from a rigorous curriculum that prepares them for success in high school, college and career. The curriculum aligns with Common Core standards, teaches 21st century skills, and Gospel values. Teacher and parent communication is open and encouraged and skills are assessed throughout the year, not once a year. Community - Our St. John Bosco community is like a large family with active parents, caring and skilled teachers and a friendly staff all dedicated to serving my kids and others. People here know my kids and they know our family. In a big place like Phoenix, that's important. Campus - Our St. John Bosco campus is a safe and beautiful environment. The classrooms are bright with natural light and there is open space for gathering, playing and for sports. I would love to spend my days there. Child- St. John Bosco focuses on developing my "whole child" through academic excellence, serving others and growing in faith. SJB is where FAITH is formed and LEADERS are born. Please share these thoughts with other families that are trying to do the very best thing for their children. You can also invite them to attend one of our School Spotlights, either April 16th, or May 3. Contact Mimi or Dorothy for more information.
