WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

Cardinella, St. John's Annual Benefit, is an evening full of celebration, fellowship, and the ever-popular wine wall, in addition to silent and live auctions. Primary funds raised through Cardinella support student learning initiatives that would not be achievable through tuition revenue alone. Thanks to the generosity of our amazing sponsors and volunteers, we have been able to host a successful event year after year.

Wine Wall is an annual event (typically held in December) that officially kicks off Cardinella. It serves as an adult-only holiday party for parents, faculty, and staff to gather and enjoy food, fellowship, and live entertainment.

Candy Cane Lane is an annual holiday event enjoyed by parents and students. This at school “store” allows children (from Pre-K through 8^th grade) to select gifts for their entire family. Gifts vary in price from $1 to $20. Candy Cane Lane promotes independence, money management skills, as well as the joy of giving and finding perfect gifts for those they care about most.

Kids Cardinella is a fundraising and fellowship event that supports Cardinella, the annual school benefit. This provides students their own Cardinella experience with live entertainment, a spirit lunch, opportunity drawings, and a day filled with fellowship. In preparation for Kids Cardinella, students can submit designs to be selected for the Kids Cardinella T-Shirt. Parents of all grades (ECC through 8^th grade), also curate unique class baskets for their grade level and faculty members which offer Teacher Experiences.

The St. John's Golf Tournament is a day filled with fun on and off the course! The day kicks off with a golf cart decorating and best costume competition. On the course, there is a putting and longest drive competition along with games and sponsors at every hole. Trophies for our winners and a post-golf reception are open to all for more fun and fellowship! Proceeds benefit the St. John’s Athletic and Physical Education Department. This event would not be possible without our amazing sponsors and volunteers.

Cardinal Field Day is a highly anticipated event by SJES students. Students will be assigned to teams as they participate in a variety of activities.

The Grandparents/Special Friend Day is an opportunity to bring grandparents or special friends on campus to show them the spirit of St. John’s. This day is always special on campus where students can share activities, arts, and crafts with their grandparents or special friend(s) and involve them in our community.
