The SJA Marketing Committee is looking for a few talented & dedicated individuals within our community to share their knowledge, skills, and creativity in helping us spread the wonderful message of St. John’s Academy.
Our primary needs are in the area of video production, copywriting and design — though we are open to all those with a creative/marketing background.
If interested or you know of anyone that may be,
please reach out to Marketing Committee Chair, Greg Cox.

Dad Squad
The SJA Dad Squad is a group of fathers of current and former SJA students that host monthly social events outside of school and contribute collectively to the SJA community through volunteering and fundraising drives. For more information or to join, reach out to our Co-Chairs Adam DeSimone and Chuck Trottere.

Is Your Family or Company Interested in

Sponsoring the Red & White Gala?
SJA's Red & White Gala is a tremendously popular event that draws over 500 people far and wide for a night of great fun, food, and prizes. This year's event will add a Casino Night alongside the traditional Tricky Tray! Continued support from our families and local businesses through sponsorships and donations is essential in making this event a huge success.
There are a number of ways to donate a prize to the Gala. You can purchase a gift from our wishlist, work with our personal Gala shopper, or email Caroline Wright for any other donations you may have.

Uniform Exchange
The Uniform Exchange is a great way to share gently used uniforms that your child/ren have outgrown. All pieces are inspected and cataloged. Parents may reach out to Birgit Loncar anytime to donate items or inquire about available inventory.
It is not necessary to have an exchange in order to use the program.
* As a reminder, all volunteers must complete the volunteer packet provided by the school office and meet requirements prior to the event.
