A Thank you from NE & Leith Foodbank
It was lovely to receive a letter and thank you certificate from Edinburgh NE Foodbank in recognition of the donations given by the school. We have been regular supporters of the NE & Leith Foodbank over the past few years. Thank you to staff who organised food parcels and our St John’s families who have donated food to the school to help others in our local and wider community.
St John’s Stations of the Cross
To help us mark our time in school during Holy Week, each class has reflected on one of the stations of the cross. These have been made into a SWAY which we are happy to share with our St John’s families. Please click the link to access the SWAY.

Wednesday Word 3rd March
This week is the Second Sunday of Lent. The Wednesday Word this week is ‘Enthusiasm’
Ash Wednesday @home
This Ash Wednesday is different for us as we mark the start of Lent at home. Below you will see an Ash Wednesday Service script sent by the Archdiocese. There is also an online Mass at 10am and 7pm tomorrow celebrated by Fr Jock. In school we have created a short prayer service to mark Ash Wednesday and I have shared this with class teachers. As normal, our children will be learning about the work of SCIAF during Lent, this year we focus on life in South Sudan.
