Dear SJPS families,
Last week, Mrs. Zukewich and Mrs. Schulze took a group of 6th and 7th graders to CMH for their annual STEM challenge. The students all did amazing! The team pictured above took 3rd place in the challenge! There were about 65 teams and over 200 students competing. Congratulations to Paul Feagles, Jacob Usher, Quinn Keigher, and David Wessel! Pictured with them is their mentor, a student from CMH.
We received word this weekend that our 8th grade girls BB team has been invited to The Padre Serra Tournament! Our Athletic Director, Bill Millot, got the word to me on Sunday. I will share more as we hear. 1, 2, 3 Go Lions!
Parents- are any of you missing hand weights from your home gyms? There was a 20 pound hand weight and two 25 pound hand weights that were found in and around trash baskets on second floor. Mr. Tim did not throw them away but brought them to my office-- which is where they are still located. I'm thinking that they were brought in from a home workout room. If you are missing weights, please call or email me and let me know.
Reminder that we do not have school this Friday, February 25th. Our teachers are involved with Sustaining the Mission. Sustaining the Mission is the designated program for the religious education certification of Catholic school teachers in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
I hope everyone has a beautiful week!
Peace and blessings,
Mary Johnson

A message from our counselor:
Hello Families of St. Jerome’s!
I pray that you all are doing well. I wanted to reach out to let you know about some workshops that are for parents and professionals that offer a wide variety of topics. Information about these free programs can be found at www.ParentsUnitedWI.org. Click on “Register Now” to find the brochure and the workshop titles. On Tuesday, April 5, 2022 Dr. Patric Mattek, a clinical psychologist from the Oconomowoc area, will be presenting “Ferrari Brain with Bicycle Brakes: Supporting Students with ADHD.” If you are interested in learning more about potential interventions and strategies for promoting success go to the website for times and location. I will be attending this talk. If you are there feel free to introduce yourself to me and say hi! Also, feel free to contact me at my email prenz@stjerome.org or at the school number on Mondays if you have questions about these programs that are offered. I am not a part of them, but I want to let families know about resources and opportunities that may be helpful to them.
If you have questions about the development of your student especially in regards to mental/social/emotional health, feel free to email me or to call on a Monday. I want to help the students and families however I can.
