From Mr. Merrick
Dear St. Jerome Families,
Congratulations to Callie (pictured above) in Mrs. Lerlo's 3rd grade class who is currently in the lead in our First in Math program.
Tomorrow, Thursday will be a St. Jerome Spirit Day; for a donation, students may wear their gym uniform and any St. Jerome shirt or sweatshirt. Proceeds will benefit our school and contribute to our Race for Education total. Pre-K3, Pre-K4, and Kindergarten students may follow the instructions from their teachers on how to dress if they would like to donate and participate.
Thank you for your support of our school fundraisers this year. With your support, we have be able to make many improvements to our school with more on the way. Please make sure to check out Fr. Reilly's video with an announcement and update on our renovation of the school hall. We are looking to make a final push in the weeks leading up to the Race for Education, which will allow us to meet our goal.
Our Race for Education is now scheduled for Wednesday, May 5th to allow our 7th & 8th graders to be able to participate. We are asking for all donations to be made by Friday, April 30th. so that we can tally everything up and hopefully order the water ice. Remember, Fr. Reilly has promised to buy and scoop water ice for all of our students if we meet/exceed our goal of 20,000 (he'll even deliver Rita's Water Ice scrip for our virtual lions).
Have a great rest of the week; St. Jerome, pray for us!
