Thank you for all of your wonderful smiles and greetings each morning! Yes, I was out there with my snow pants on--at the end of March! I'm eagerly waiting for the beautiful warm spring weather and our daffodils and tulips to pop from the ground.

We hope everyone had a wonderful extended weekend this past week! The teachers were busy with learning from Mrs. Peg Renz, our school counselor. She helped us learn more about social and emotional growth and learning in the classroom. We also received more training about our classroom Viewboards and we are all up to date on first aid with our training from the Red Cross. It was a very busy two days and we are ready to get back into our classrooms and move into our last quarter of learning!

I can't believe how quickly this school year has flown by us! Today is the last day of our 3rd quarter and tomorrow (Wednesday) begins 4th quarter. Keep up the awesome work! We are moving into the home stretch of this school year!

Congratulations to our Maria Jorgenson! She was named to the Padre Serra All Tournament team!! Woo Hoo! What an amazing honor! Mr. Bill Millot told me that only 10 girls from the entire tournament are named to this team. Way to go Maria and our 8th grade girls BB team!! 1, 2, 3 GO LIONS!

Our Mother-Son event to a Lake Country Dockhounds baseball game is limited to the first 60 people--they sold out of tickets! Please see the flyer below for more information. We are asking for all replies by May 1st.

SAVE the DATE!! The St. Jerome Parish School Golf Outing is planned for Monday, June 27, 2022. It is a great day and a wonderful way to support our school. Please see the flyer below and start getting your groups together and plan to enjoy this wonderful day at the Oconomowoc Golf Club.

God's peace and blessings,

Mary J.

Hello Parents of boys in 4th - 7th grade,

The Intramural Boys Volleyball season is off to a great start! Please plan to attend a Boy's Volleyball Meeting and Skills Night on April 5th, 4:00 - 5:30. It's important that you attend for a few reasons:

1) Witness the mad volleyball skills these boys are quickly developing.

2) 4th - 7th grades: To sign up for the SJPS Boys Volleyball Team for the 2022 Season! In order to enter a team into the Metro Volleyball Conference next year, our Athletic Director, Bill Millot, has to give a commitment from our school this spring, so he needs a fairly firm idea of which boys are planning to play.

About the League:

Metro Volleyball Conference  http://metrovbconference.org/

2022 Season: Monday Aug 14 thru Sunday Nov 5, 2022 with League Play starting Friday Sept. 9, 2022. Games are played on Friday evenings.

Last season there were 28 8th grade boys teams, split into 3 different divisions. Boys volleyball has taken root in a big way!

We look forward to seeing you in April!

-Bill Millot, Athletic Director for St. Jerome

(Coach Samson and Coach Keigher)

PS - Who doesn't love playing in the sand?! The Oconomowoc Parks and Rec Department just opened up registration for summer volleyball. Like any sport, the kids need repetition. This is a great opportunity for the kids to gain exposure to volleyball over the summer, and have some fun!
