Mrs. Demontreux- 3rd Grade

" I feel very blessed to teach at St. Johns. I am privileged to have the opportunity to teach children in a small group setting. A small classroom setting is very important when ensuring an environment conducive to learning at all levels. It is also a blessing to be able to openly share my Christain beliefs, as well as my love for our country with other faculty members and students. We are very fortunate to work under a Principal that fosters our Patriotic and Christain views in a time where not many school administrators do. "

St. John’s Lutheran is a very special place. This school not only gives each student an exceptional education but also fosters an environment where a student can feel like they are part of the family. Every teacher in the school truly cares for their students. This helps them grow up feeling confident and valued. Upon graduation students are prepared academically and socially to face any obstacle. The Christian values they are taught are priceless and help them develop into upstanding young men and women. There is no other place like St. John’s and it’s a hidden gem within the Staten Island community!
