I want to take this time to acknowledge one of our valued administrators: Mrs. Catherine Anderson, Middle School Principal. Mrs. Anderson has been awarded the 2024 NDAESP Bell Ringer Award for the state of North Dakota. The criteria for the award and an explanation of it are as follows:
1) The nomination must be completed by a peer.
2) The nomination documents a positive educational contribution or accomplishment.
3) Ineligible persons include: Past Recipients of the Award Clarence Corneil was the first National Distinguished Principal in North Dakota. He established this award during his long-time leadership in the NDAESP. It was originally called the “You Done Good” Award and was intended to recognize and celebrate some accomplishment or contribution by an association member. A number of years after establishing the award, it was changed to the Bell Ringer Award. It identifies those individuals who are nominated by their peers for their positive contributions, for making a difference, and for “doing good.”
We all know the positivity, work ethic, and professionalism Mrs. Anderson brings to the St. John School District and we couldn't be more proud to call her one of our own! Mrs. Anderson is most deserving of the award and we couldn't be more happy for you to be chosen for this illustrious award! Way to go, Mrs Anderson!
Track practice will start March 11th after school. With the first high school track meet on March 28, the first week of practice ( 3/11-3/14) will be voluntary for JUNIOR HIGH athletes. Please have a physical before first practice, if you haven't participated in a sport this year. Also, please bring clothing/gear for every practice if we are able to go outside. Spring weather is looking promising so far!
