By now everyone has heard the media reports about the bomb threat made earlier this week at St. John’s Preparatory School in Danvers Ma, for tomorrow’s school day. School administration has worked closely with authorities all week and has successfully implemented precautionary guidelines for the school community to follow. The decision to send our sons to school tomorrow has been the topic of discussion all week. We were notified today that tomorrow classes remain as scheduled, but they will be allowing an excused absence to any student not attending tomorrow’s classes.
Tonight every SJP Parent needs to make a decision that they feel comfortable with. This is not a time to cast stones and make judgment on others and their decisions. But I thought I ‘d extend an open invitation to those who have decided not to attend classes tomorrow.
This afternoon, I reached out to The Open-Door Food Pantry to make arrangements for an afternoon of service for any St. John’s Preparatory student who has decided to not attend classes tomorrow.
All are Welcome to participate. Please help me spread the word to SJP students who may be interested in helping others tomorrow

PLEASE IN BOX ME YOUR SONS NAME IF PLANNING TO ATTEND~ the open door can accommodate small and large groups, I just need to provide a head count before noon time tomorrow.

Address:
The Open-Door Food Pantry

What a great thing to arrange, Felicia. It is fantastic of you to find a way to make something positive of something really scary and unnecessary.

“First and formost this is a great gesture and heartfelt to make a difference I commend you for that!”
These are way too dangerous even when some think is a way to get out of school or prank – these have become much more serious today. As people like police and fire department rushing to get there may be hit by or ibe nvolved in an accident get hurt or worse! Please don’t call these in and is lifechanging for future! I have had to respond to these type items and affected by them active duty last two jobs held!
Generally these are Felony level charges also…
Thank you!
