Nice to see a St. John’s get some great press. It is a terrific school that more people should know about and think about sending their kids to, the Eliot isn’t the only school in the North End. I went there as a kid and have such fond memories. It is such a nice school with great kids who all like each other and get along and the teachers truly care about educating the kids.
