1. Family Commitment Opportunities
The deadline for the spring sports program has been pushed back to allow for more time for families to solicit advertisements to go towards their family commitment. The new deadline is Friday, March 8. You can find information about these advertisements and the order form online. If you have any questions, contact Gillian Kruse in the Advancement Office.
We have begun a new way for parents to earn their family commitment credit just by doing their everyday shopping! All purchases of gift cards from shopwithscrip.com will give a percentage of the card amount back to Pope John - half towards the club or activity of your choice, and half to your family commitment! Pope John's enrollment number is D6LLFDF33573L - you can order online and it will notify the school's organizers that your order is ready. Call or email Ann Justus at annjsts@netzero.net for any questions.

All students involved in spring sports (or anticipating involvement in spring sports) must have their pictures taken on Wednesday after school.
