Week of October 10 - 14

Announcements for this Week:

Carnival T-Shirt Fridays

In order to generate excitement about our upcoming school carnival, students will be permitted to wear Carnival T-Shirts on Fridays. T-Shirts may be purchased at a cost of $10 and must be worn with other regular uniform apparel. Students will earn Spirit Points for our class by wearing their Carnival T-Shirts!

Halloween Costumes at our Fundraising Marketplace

Did you know that you can help raise money for our school simply by shopping for Halloween costumes and other great products? On our school website, there is a link for “Fundraising” at the bottom of the page. If you follow that link and click on the “Marketplace” banner, you will find links to dozens of online stores that donate a portion of your purchase to St. Jerome School. Save on Halloween costumes and support our school with just a few clicks!

Looking Ahead:

School Carnival and Silent Auction

The St. Jerome School Carnival is fast approaching - it will be held the weekend of October 21 - 23. This is a wonderful opportunity to “Come Together as a Community”, and the SSO is offering some great class incentives in order to encourage participation in our fundraising efforts for the Carnival. 

We have already received several of your volunteer forms, so thank you for your efforts so far! If you have any questions about donating or volunteering, you may contact our Room Parents or Mrs. Cobbs in the Main Office for details.

Don’t forget! At this time, there are two big ways you can help our class:

1.Donate items for our Silent Auction Class Basket: Scrapbooking Galore!

The class with the most items donated wins an Ice Cream Sundae Party!

2. Volunteer for the Carnival and ask your friends and family to sign up too! 

The class with the most volunteers to sign up wins a Pizza Party!
