Delphos St. John's School officials continue the fire clean-up and update parents on what school will look like next week. In a Facebook video update, Father Jeff Walker says that school will be in session on Monday, October 28, 2024, as the air and building have been deemed safe, but there will be changes to the school day. Elementary and junior high students will be physically back inside the classroom on Monday, while high school students will not return to the building and attend class via remote learning at home all next week. 

Students at Delphos St. John's will not be returning to school this week after an electrical fire broke out early Monday morning. The fire was contained to a maintenance room, but the smoke and soot from the fire spread throughout the school. Servpro will be working on cleaning the school building and the vents for the rest of this week. When the students return on Monday, things will be a little different for a while.

6th graders prepared comedy puppet shows based on different biblical tales to present to kindergarteners. The project comes after a week full of activities to encourage students to read more outside of school, like making positive message posters and giveaways.

A group from Delphos St. John's is heading to Washington D.C. for the annual March for Life. The bus departed for the nation's capital Thursday evening as part of the school's annual trip to pray for the unborn with thousands of other people in the March for Life.

Although people have not been able to attend church in person with the pandemic but they might still have a few things they'd like to pray for, so the priests and seminarian of the Catholic churches in Delphos, Landeck, and Spencerville asked their parishioners to send in their prayer requests to take with them as they walked from Delphos St. John's to St. Patrick's in Spencerville, a ten mile trip.

As students across the country find ways to fill their free time as they learn from home, a set of triplets in Delphos engineer a project that could equal anything they would have learned in school. Zane, Andrew, and Luke Bockey have always enjoyed building forts in their backyard, but when the pandemic forced Delphos St. John's to switch from classroom learning to e-learning, the brothers have some extra time on their hands, so they found a project that was a little bigger. The boys started to build a log cabin, which was kind of a surprise to their parents.

Over the last few weeks, schools across Ohio have been looking pretty much the same - empty desks, and empty hallways. The COVID-19 pandemic brought the school year to a screeching halt, and teachers needed to find a way to make sure that their students could still get an education. For many, like the teachers at Delphos St. John's, that meant setting up their lessons online.

Motivational speaker Tony Hoffman gave his life's story to an audience of students at Delphos St. John's.
