From Mr. Merrick
Dear St. Jerome Families,
I hope that you are having a good week so far; we are settling into the second half of the year very well as we also work to plan for the celebration of Catholic Schools Week, work on how we will observe Lent at St. Jerome School, and begin registration for the 2020-2021 school year.
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 the work of our St. Jerome School Student Council. PreK-3, PreK-4, and Kindergarten students may follow the instructions from their teachers on how to dress if they would like to donate and participate.
Fr. Reilly will celebrate our January School Mass on Friday at 10:00 AM. Mrs. Schmidt's 6th Grade Class will attend Mass in Church and assist with the liturgy. Mass will be live-streamed to the other classrooms and virtual students. Following Mass, we will recognize our Students of the Month for January.
Have a great rest of the week; St. Jerome, pray for us!
