"We follow Jesus in our thoughts, words, and actions every day by learning to love, loving to serve, and serving to lead." ~SJPS student recited Mission

Happy 10th day of Christmas!

Dear SJPS Families,
Here is a little "warm your heart" moment that happened yesterday morning.

When I returned to school after Christmas break, the entrance area of our school
looked empty. The Advent wreath had been taken down. Our beautiful large candles were gone. The candles on the windows of our CGS Atrium were gone. There were no lights or signs of the Christmas season. The sun wasn't out and the whole area just seemed sad.

I asked my 5th grade morning announcement helpers to please announce that it was the 9th Day of Christmas and then I showed them the baby Jesus that I brought in to lay in our Manger with all of our Something Beautiful's under Him. I said, "He is all that we have in our entrance area to show the joy and beauty of this Christmas Season."

The fifth grade student looked at me and simply said,
"Well, that is all that we need."

We are blessed with these moments throughout the day at St. Jerome's School. They very often stop me in my tracks and take my breath away.

These are the fruits of why we are here--and they are beautiful!

Peace and all good,

Mrs. Mary Johnson
Fr. Tom Brundage
