The address to St John’s College and St John’s Sixth Form from Neal Burger, Head of School, at the first assembly of the new academic year.
Welcome!
With less than immaculate timing, we launched our St. John’s College Foundation USA.org website in March, 2020 – just as the Corona virus pandemic was taking hold here in the USA. The then mostly unknown terms “COVID-19” and “mask mandates” now have become commonplace. All of the 50 states have been adversely impacted in multiple ways. Yet there now seems to be some light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.
Today, perhaps with our reduction of daily out-of-pocket expenses for travel, outside lunches, and those after-hours’ quick drinks, I urge you to again consider a donation to our St. John’s College Foundation USA. With online credit card and direct debit account processing on the site, you, as others before you, can initiate a one-time donation or set up monthly recurring payments for as little as US10 – the cost of two beers after work. 100% of your contributions go to the School.
We are in the process of updating the site, but with no anticipated changes to the current online payment functions. Thank you in advance for your support during these particularly difficult times.
The web address is: https://stjohnscollegefoundationusa.org.
