Thank you to all of our Career Day speakers! The presentations were fantastic!

January Awards Assembly

The Awards Assembly for the month of January will be on Thursday, January 26 in the Front Yard. The Virtue Awards winners for this month will be honored. This month’s virtue is: Citizenship. Students are encouraged to be responsible citizens of their school, neighborhood, and country by participating in service, following rules and laws, and being active members of the community.

Catholic Schools Week Service Project

As part of our celebration of “Catholic Schools Week: Faith, Academics, Service”, we will be participating in a service project to support a very worthy cause - Alexandria House, a transitional residence for women and children in need. 

Each class at St. Jerome will be assigned items to donate to these families, and students will assemble care packages to be delivered by CJSF representatives. 

Looking Ahead:

Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Week will begin with an all-school Mass on Sunday, January 29. We ask that all school families please join us at the 9:00 AM Mass that Sunday. Our celebration of Catholic schools will continue throughout the week with several special events, including Open House on Thursday, February 2 and a “parents-only” Mardi Gras night on Saturday, February 4. Mark your calendars!

e-Waste Collection

On Sunday, February 12, St. Jerome Parish will be hosting an e-Waste collection from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Bring your old electronics to dispose of properly and model good stewardship of our planet for your child.
