Volunteer Spotlight

We are blessed to recognize Mary Vandenberg as our Outstanding Volunteer. Mary was presented with this award at a Mass on February 20th.

Mary, your commitment to carefully shelving the many books in the library at St. John the Baptist School each week has kept the library organized and has fostered a love for reading in our students. The care you demonstrate each week reflects your dedication to our school community. Your involvement is sincerely appreciated and makes a difference in our mission.

Your presence at the Site Advisory Council meetings each month also adds a unique and valuable perspective, enriching the discussions with your insights as an involved grandparent and parishioner. Thank you for the quiet dedication and positive influence you consistently bring to our students and staff. We are grateful to have you as a part of the St. John’s family.
