New Ongoing Fundraiser – Cobs Dough Raiser Program

Support our school while shopping at COBS Bread in Fort Saskatchewan! Simply mention “St. John XXIII School” during your next visit, and 5% of your purchase will be donated to the school. It’s that easy! Thank you for helping us and supporting local businesses.
Please note: If you regularly collect breadcrumb points, you’ll need to choose between keeping your points from your purchase or donating them to the school. Unfortunately, you can't do both.

Boston Pizza – Operation Education

Join us in supporting our school through Operation Education, a fantastic fundraising initiative that connects local schools with Boston Pizza Restaurants in our community. When you dine at any participating Boston Pizza location, you help our school earn 5% cash back on the pre-tax total of your receipts!

Here’s how it works:
1. Dine-in at Boston Pizza.
2. Keep your original receipt (photocopies will not be accepted).
3. Submit the receipt to Mrs. Potter in the school office.
You have until Dec 31, 2025, to enjoy a meal at your local Boston Pizza. Make sure to submit your original receipt by Jan 15, 2026, to help us raise valuable funds for our school!

2025/2026 St. John XXIII School Council Executive

Marc Dzura – Chair

Hi all!  I'm very lucky to be a part of the great community of St. John XXIII.  I'm a very proud husband and I’m a father to two wonderful girls.  My eldest recently graduated from St. John XXIII, while my youngest is in Grade 4.

I'm looking forward to learning and growing in my role as Chair and supporting the families and school community as a whole.

Reily Seddon - Co Chair

Hello! My name is Reily Seddon and I am excited to take on the role as Co-Chair for the 2025-26 Parent Council. 

I am a 4th year parent here at St. John XXIII with a daughter in grade 3 and a son in T/F kindergarten. I am a full time Executive Assistant by day, and a full time wife and Mom around the clock. 

Knowing our family will be a part of the St. John XXIII family for five more years, I felt now was the best time to join as a council member. I look forward to connecting with the school community and working collaboratively to enhance students experiences and achievements in the coming year. 

Josh Tremblay - Vice Chair 

Hi! I’m excited to be part of the Parent Council at St. John XXIII. I’m a parent to a child in Grade 3, with another little one starting kindergarten next year.

I joined the council because I’m passionate about helping build a strong, supportive school community where all students feel valued, encouraged, and inspired to keep learning—both inside and outside the classroom.

My background is in engineering, and I’m especially interested in promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) opportunities beyond the classroom. I’m also eager to expand my involvement in school initiatives, support events, and help strengthen communication between families and staff.

I’m always happy to hear from other parents—please feel free to connect with me at meetings or reach out anytime!

Christi McTaggart – Treasurer  

Hello, my name is Christi McTaggart, and I’m excited to be Treasurer of the St. John XXIII School Council. I have two boys, Reeve and Lochlan, who attend the school. Originally from Northern Alberta, I moved to Fort Saskatchewan 12 years ago. My husband grew up here and even attended St. John XXIII himself, so this school holds a special place in our family's heart.

I hold a degree in Child Studies and a certificate in Child & Youth Mental Health. Currently, I work as a Social Media & Marketing Consultant, which allows me the flexibility to spend time volunteering at the school—you’ll probably see me around! Before that, I spent over 10 years supporting children and families at a charitable organization in Edmonton, and worked for the City of Fort Saskatchewan for a couple of years before starting our family.

I am passionate about this community and love to contribute to making it a better place. I look forward to meeting more of the wonderful St. John’s families.
