Miss Torrence's Classroom

Welcome to St. John the Evangelist First Grade

Teacher: Miss Sally Torrence

Happy Catholic Schools Week

Open House Update: Thank you to all families who toured the

Little School on Sunday Jan. 29, 2012.  It was great to see SJS students

and greet new visitors!  A very special thank you to everyone who donated

to the SJS first grade Food Drive. Your generosity enabled grade one

students to live as a disciple of Jesus by giving to others who are hungry.

  May God bless you and your family for your kindness.
