School Creed

Motto

A Talk With The Lord

What surprise do YOU have planned for me today LORD?

I am excited about the abilities that I have at my disposal.

I am able to see, and think, and hear!

I am able to read and to learn. I have the ability to plan.

I am excited about the hours and minutes that this day holds.

I am suddenly conscious heavenly Father , that YOU give to all human beings the same number of minutes and hours in every day.

I will cherish those minutes and hours and I will do good things with them today.

And I am well aware of the fact that the most important resources I

possess are YOUR love for me, the love of my parents, and the

love of my teachers.

I am blessed! I am alive!

I am being given the priceless gift of another day of learning.

I will do good things with this day.

I will do something constructive with this new day.

Thank you LORD for treating me fairly.

I will treat you fairly also.

Today I will be a student YOU can be proud of.

School Song

At St. John Christian Academy,
We have a creed,
To live by every day,
To nurture all our needs.

We stand tall,
We think tall,
We live tall,
And we remember Thee.

At St. John Christian Academy,
I can accomplish anything,
Because I believe in God,
And I believe in me.

We Stand Tall. Think Tall. Live Tall.
