The Archdiocese of Milwaukee recognizes April 24th – April 30th as Safe Environment Awareness Week. Each year in the month of April, which is recognized around the country as child abuse prevention month, the archdiocese dedicates a week to elevating the general awareness of the Church’s efforts to keep our children safe. We want people to know that we are committed to maintaining safe environments in our parishes and schools through adult child abuse prevention training; criminal background checks for all clergy, volunteers working with minors, and employees; safety training for children in each grade level; and adhering to all mandatory reporting requirement laws.

There will be an Athletic Association meeting on Wednesday, April 27^th at 7:00 pm in the school Library. Parents of all St. Jerome students in all grades are encouraged and welcome to attend.

God's peace and blessings,

Mary J.
