LogoAlumni Remembrances

Here are a few remembrances and memories shared
of elementary school years at St. John....

"When I started school at St. John, there were two classrooms with Grades 1 - 4 in one room and 5 - 8 in the other room. The building also had a basement and a gym upstairs. There were 4 students in my first grade class. Mr V Schachtsick was our teacher.  Later, they added a classroom in the basement for the 1st and 2nd grades and the classroom I had been in was for Grade 3 - Grade 5, so I had Mr. V. Schachtsick until I went to the 6th - 8th classroom. Mr. Wukasch was the teacher.   When I graduated, there were 8 students in my class. I am the only student from my class who is still a member of St. John, two are deceased and the rest have moved away."

I remember going through Confirmation Class with Pastor Schaper and how we had to participate in questioning exercises the week before Confirmation.  Each student had to answer three questions.  We didn't know which ones we were going to be called upon to answer, so we had best be prepared and know our stuff.

This was the first school I ever attended where I truly felt loved. St. John changed my life and continues to be an inspiration to me everyday. Now I enjoy being an aid to children at this school and my children love attending here. There was and still is a real community at this church and school. Some names and faces have changed, but the bond we all share is
the same in Christ.
