Health and Immunization Records

Carolyn Otte Retirement

Dear Families,

We are glad that you have been a part of our program this year! Monday is the last day to make changes (withdraw or contract change) before the summer begins on June 1. (You are signed up for the summer, so if you do not plan to attend, you will need to withdraw.)

Ms. Kay is retiring! Please join us on the Pre-K playground on Tuesday, May 17 from 3:30-4:30 to wish Ms. Kay, well! You may enter the playground through the outside gate that is located off Franklin. There will be balloons to guide you to the event. Cards and gift cards are being accepted for Ms. Kay. All are encouraged to attend!

As the school year winds down, we say good-bye to Ms. Kay and Ms. Cynthia who have worked in the Owls classroom, and Mr. Rich who has been washing dishes for us for many years! Please wish them well on their new endeavors! Cynthia and Rich are both planning on spending more time with grandkids!

We also have several teachers who leave us for the summer, but they will return in the fall. We will say, "See you later," to Meg, Kris, Magui, Tim, Stephanie, Leilah, and Amara. Ms. Arminya will be gone for several weeks visiting her family overseas, but she will return late in the summer.  

Don't forget that Pre-K students will have a half day on Tuesday, May 31. 

We are excited for our last "Parents in Prayer" event on Wednesday, May 18 for our Toddler classrooms, Kangaroos and Hedgehogs. See you at 4:45 for a peak into the classrooms as well as next year's classrooms!

Happy Friday!

General Health Appraisal Forms and Immunization Records are due annually. This means that when your child has a birthday, you probably go to the doctor's office for a physical. When your child has a physical or new vaccines, please request updated forms.

Thank you for your help with

St. John's Schools online presence.

We will be recognizing Carolyn's retirement from nearly 40 years of service in the ministry (including almost 30 years at St. John’s/Renewal) on Sunday, May 22 after both the 8am and 9:45am services in the St. John’s Community Room. During her tenure, Carolyn served in numerous roles including as a Teacher, Coach, Administrator and most recently as the Executive Director of Ministries here at St John’s/Renewal. Through her extraordinary gifts of community, leadership, creativity and action, she impacted hundreds of students and thousands of believers within all the communities she has served. In each role, Carolyn led with real humanity, authenticity and heart.

We encourage folks to bring a personal handwritten note, letter, card, or fun photo for Carolyn to enjoy. A basket/decorative receptacle will be available to collect these items at the reception. In addition, if you cannot attend but would like to send a note, please place it in Anne Purvis' mailbox in the church hallway or mail it Anne’s attention at St John’s Denver, 700 S. Franklin St., Denver, CO 80209.

Open House Nights for our new school year (2022-2023) will be on August 2 for Toddler classrooms, August 3 for Pre-K classrooms, and August 4 for Preschool/3 year old classrooms. Times to be determined.
