This week, our students and staff are participating in Safety Week as we practice the important drills that help keep our school community prepared and safe.

Throughout the week, we are reviewing and practicing procedures for situations such as fire drills, lockdowns, and other emergencies. These drills are conducted in an age-appropriate, calm, and thoughtful way so that students know what to do, where to go, and—most importantly—how to listen to and follow the directions of the adults caring for them.

Just like we practice academics, athletics, and performances, we practice safety so that the right actions become familiar when they matter most.

We are grateful for our teachers and staff who take the responsibility of student safety so seriously—and for our students who are learning that being prepared is one way we care for one another. St. Michael, pray for us and keep our school community safe.

Ms. Hetzel’s kindergartners are busy learning how to work through literacy stations! As they practice routines and build independence, they’re also strengthening important early reading and writing skills through hands-on learning.

These little learners are already discovering that becoming a reader takes practice, perseverance, and a whole lot of fun!

Last night, we were grateful to celebrate the incredible work of the FIRE Foundation at the annual BonFIRE event!

St. John the Baptist Catholic School is blessed to be a recipient of a FIRE Foundation grant, helping us continue the important work of creating a school where students of all abilities are welcomed, supported, challenged, and given the opportunity to thrive.

Inclusion is more than a program or a set of services, it is at the heart of who we are as a Catholic school. We believe every child is created in the image and likeness of God, possesses inherent dignity, and brings unique gifts to our community. When we make room for students with diverse learning needs, we don’t simply serve those students, we become a stronger, more compassionate, and more authentically Catholic community for every child.

The support of the FIRE Foundation helps Catholic schools like ours turn that belief into action by providing resources that make inclusive Catholic education possible.

We are incredibly grateful to the FIRE Foundation, its supporters, and everyone who gathered at BonFIRE last night to champion a beautiful truth: Catholic education should be a place where every child knows, “I belong here.” ❤️‍🔥

Today, the Church remembers The Passion of St. John the Baptist—a man who refused to compromise the truth, even when speaking it came at the cost of his life.

John’s mission was never about drawing attention to himself. From the wilderness to the prison cell, his entire life pointed to Christ:

“He must increase; I must decrease.” — John 3:30

John spoke truth when it was unpopular. He remained faithful when it was dangerous. And ultimately, he gave his life rather than abandon what he knew was right.

His witness challenges us today: Are we willing to stand for truth when it costs us something? Are our lives pointing others toward Christ, or toward ourselves?

St. John the Baptist, pray for us. May we have the courage to speak the truth, the humility to decrease so Christ may increase, and the faith to remain steadfast to the end.

Third grade is getting to know one another—one “All About Me” bag at a time!

Students filled their bags with a few special items that tell a little bit about who they are, their interests, favorite things, families, hobbies, and more. As they share with their classmates, they’re discovering what makes each person unique while also finding all the things they have in common.

What a fun way to build friendships, confidence, and a strong classroom community as we begin the school year together!

There is no better way to begin our school year than in the presence of Jesus.

Today, our students and staff gathered for our first weekly Eucharistic Adoration of the school year, a time to step away from the busyness of the day, quiet our hearts, and simply be with Our Lord.

Each week, we are blessed to give our students this opportunity to encounter Christ in the Blessed Sacrament and to learn that prayer is not simply something we do, it is a relationship we nurture.

May these weekly moments of Adoration help our students grow in faith, deepen their love for Jesus, and remind all of us that He is at the center of everything we do at St. John the Baptist Catholic School.

Jesus, we trust in You.

Our teachers never stop learning!

Today, after school, our faculty came together to learn, collaborate, and continue growing in the important work of serving our students. Behind every great classroom is a teacher who is continually reflecting, learning, and striving to become even better.

We are grateful for a faculty committed not only to academic excellence, but also to forming our students in faith, character, and virtue.

Strong teachers. Shared mission. One SJB community. 💙

Our fifth graders have an important responsibility at St. John the Baptist: each day, they take on the service of raising and lowering our American flag. Today, they learned how to properly care for the flag, raise and lower it, and carry out this responsibility with respect and reverence.

It may seem like a small daily task, but it is a meaningful opportunity to teach our students about service, responsibility, leadership, and gratitude for our country. We are proud to entrust our fifth graders with this special tradition throughout the school year.

Way to lead through service, fifth grade! 🇺🇸💙

The Gingerbread Kids are off and running!

Kindergarten has a runaway gingerbread friend on their hands! After hopping right out of their book, the Gingerbread Kid has been making her way around St. John’s, leaving our kindergartners to follow the clues and discover where she’ll turn up next!

Today’s adventure led them straight to the school office, where they found their sneaky gingerbread friend and got to learn more about an important part of our school along the way. Our students learned where the office is, who our wonderful office ladies are, and all the ways they help students, teachers, and families each day.

What a fun way for our newest Vikings to explore their school, meet the people who take care of them, and become more comfortable finding their way around their new school home!

Now the big question is… where will that Gingerbread Kid run off to next?! 👀🍪

And just like that… we’re back!

Today our halls were filled again with smiling faces, excited voices, new beginnings, and all the energy that comes with the first day of school. What a gift it is to welcome our students back to St. John the Baptist Catholic School!

As we begin this new school year, we pray that our classrooms will be places of faith, joy, curiosity, friendship, and growth. May our students have the courage to try new things, the grace to care for one another, and hearts always rooted in Christ.

To our teachers and staff—thank you for the love, preparation, and prayer you have poured into welcoming our students.

To our families—thank you for entrusting your children to us and for being such an important part of our SJB community.

And to our students—this year is yours! Learn boldly. Love generously. Work hard. Have fun. And never forget that God has great plans for you.

Here’s to an incredible year, Vikings!

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year!
