St. John the Baptist School 

Fourth Grade had the opportunity to learn all about therapy dogs and the impact they can have on people's emotional well being. Mrs. Mary Ann Wolf, one of our preschool teacher's aides, brought her therapy dog Lincoln in for a visit. He is a Therapy Dog International dog that visits people in nursing homes, hospitals, schools, libraries, and other places to provide comfort, happiness, and a break from the daily routine of loneliness and illness. Notice Lincoln's professional attire...he always wears a necktie to work.

Second grade recently enjoyed a visit from The Cincinnati Museum Center. They traveled to Peru, Kenya, Australia, and China all while staying in their classrooms and learning about different cultures around the world.

The Cincinnati Zoo brought Bocci, a three-banded armadillo and Cornelius, a corn snake to St. Johns for an enrichment program with our third grade classes. The students learned about these animal's characteristics, habitats, diet, and many more fun facts.
