Dear St. John Bosco Families,
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a peaceful, restful and joyous Christmas break. I was able to visit family in New York over the break. It was a lovely time but I am so happy to be back here in Arizona with the 70 degree weather! We are so blessed.
There are so many things going on in January. Be sure to stay on top of things by making note of important dates on our school calendar, by reading the BITE and by opening emails sent from your child's teachers.
It was a wonderful first half of the year and I am looking forward to the second half of the year with much excitement and enthusiasm.
Blessings,
Marie Axman Ed.D.
Principal, St. John Bosco Catholic School

Special Persons' Day - Friday, January 31
An annual tradition at St. John Bosco, Special Persons' Day is a day set-aside during Catholic Schools Week where we open up our campus to special people in your student's life. It is designed for the special people in your child's life that wouldn't normally have an opportunity to be on campus - grandparents, godparents, a special aunt or uncle, close family friend, etc. During their time here on campus they will get a bird's eye view of what our students are learning and doing on a daily basis and what makes St. John Bosco and a Catholic education so special.
Teachers are very sensitive to students who may not have someone to visit and make sure those students are included in a very real way.
Please follow this link to provide contact information for your student's special person. They will be sent an invitation via email with all of the details of the event.
