Announcements for this Week:

Carnival This Weekend!

St. Jerome Parish and School will celebrate “Coming Together as a Community” at our Carnival this weekend, October 21 - 23. Please come out to support our school and enjoy the fun, food, and festivities. We so appreciate all of the time and money you have contributed to making this carnival great, and now it is time to enjoy! I’m looking forward to seeing my students and their families there. 

Don’t forget that Carnival T-Shirts can still be worn with regular uniform apparel on Friday, October 21 to promote the event and earn Spirit Points for our class. At the last count, 2nd grade was in the lead again! Great job, 2nd graders!

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!
