Week of June 4 - 8


2nd Grade Parent Update
Week of June 4 - 8
Announcements for this Week:
Homework for Monday
In honor of Sister Judy’s retirement, St. Jerome students have been asked to come together to create a memorable and meaningful gift for her. Since she enjoys cooking, students have been asked to each contribute one of their family’s favorite recipes to be included in a St. Jerome Family Cookbook. Students should handwrite the recipe with an adult’s help to ensure accuracy and legibility.
Upcoming Field Trips
Our field trip to the Los Angeles Zoo will take place on Thursday, June 7. Please remember to send your child’s lunch in a disposable bag labeled with his or her name - no lunch boxes, no tupperware!  I also suggest that students wear their P.E. uniforms and tennis shoes as they will be more comfortable for walking.

We will also have a field trip on Friday, June 8 to Westport Heights Elementary to visit our pen pal class at their school. This will be a walking field trip, and we are still in need of a few parent chaperones to assist with safety and supervision during the walk to and from St. Jerome. Please contact me if you are interested.
Eighth Grade Graduation
Graduation will be held on Friday, June 8 at 6:00 PM in the Church. Students are invited to attend this special school event and participate by singing in the choir. Students in the choir should wear their school uniforms and arrive by 5:30 PM.
