See our latest photos on our Facebook page, and “like” us there. For positive communications about JFK or among just our community, request to join the closed group, “JFK Moms & Dads.” You’ll find pictures from volleyball and Lego League posted by members of our community there. Perhaps you can help one of our parents find a piano teacher as well and respond to her post.
Busy Calendar
From now until January 2nd, there will be a whirlwind of activities: holy day and other Masses, concerts, Christmas shows, out of uniform days for specific grades and the whole school, etc. Please see the website calendars. There’s too many events to list them all!
Advent is also a perfect time to rededicate ourselves to weekend Mass attendance and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Please see the bulletin for Reconciliation offerings by clicking HERE or using the following url: https://www.olvjfk.com/olv/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/10328054A-112617.pdf

Predicting Technology Usage
Every December, we need to predict the bandwidth we will need for the following school year. The rule of thumb is that if, after controlling for the top 5% of heaviest usage, you are averaging 75% of your bandwidth, it’s time to upgrade. We are averaging about 83% of our bandwidth this fall semester. At 35 Mbps, JFK has the most bandwidth of our Catholic elementary schools, but it looks like it’s time to upgrade again!
Evening School Custodian/Janitor
Please join me in wishing Alan Holland well as he returns to a position at the Arsenal. He has been a great asset to JFK in his brief time with us.
His upcoming departure means we are looking for an evening janitor. Primary duties are cleaning and interacting with others accessing the building during evening hours. 2:30-11:00 p.m. school days, and day shift hours when school is not in session, including summer and school breaks. Abilities to work swiftly and efficiently on one’s feet all shift, lift at least 50 lbs, and operate cleaning equipment are required. A letter, resume and references can be sent to me at chad.steimle@olvjfkmail.com or an application can be picked up at the school office.
