What do alumni have to say about St. John's?

---

"St. John's is one of the finest private schools. I and other classmates are  proud of our elementary education." - Bill Kruser, class of 1957

"Who I am today and much of my success, is due to the education I received at St. John's. Education is not just about math and reading. It's about morals, values, and critical thinking. Thank you, St. John's." - Mike M., class of 1973

"I had a great time at St. John's. I had terrific classmates and really caring instructors and staff." - Norman Kressmann, class of 1957

"St. John's was a great opportunity in my life.  I had a great education and good pastors, teachers, and fellowship." - Jill K. Crooker, class of 1963

"One of my greatest blessings is the years I spent at St. John's. My very best friends are those I made at St.  John's. Those years helped me form Christian values that help me in my everyday life. I will always be grateful to my parents for sending me to St. John's. I remember fondly all of us being in the choir and singing for church services. A favorite memory of all is the Christmas Eve service. After the service, we would get a bag that had some goodies (fruit, nuts, etc). In those days that was a special treat." - Darlene Borgardt Bischoffer, class of 1957

"A favorite memory I have from St. John's is the school Christmas party and pageant." - Roy F. Halvorsen, class of 1957
