We have a very busy week ahead of us! This week we are collecting new hats, gloves, socks, mittens, and scarves for Catholic Charities! Please drop off new items at school. There is a box in the entryway. We are hoping to fill the box by the Friday so that we can send it off to those in need.
SJPS Students are Christ-centered, Service-Minded, Servant Leaders of Tomorrow!
This week is our 5th Annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest! Pumpkins were to be dropped off yesterday morning. Stop on in and see the wonderful pumpkins in the entrance hallway! There will be a winner in each of the following categories: PreK to 2nd, 3rd to 5th, 6th to 8th, and Family!
This Thursday, 10/28, we will be having a St. Jerome wear or green and white Out of Dress Code Day!

All students are invited and encouraged to come to school dressed as their favorite saint for All Souls Day on Tuesday, November 2nd. Families are encouraged to join us for Mass that morning at 8:00. All are invited to stay after Mass that day for special presentations by our 4th and 5th graders. The special saint presentations will follow the weekly Our Lady of Perpetual Help Devotion. This was such a beautiful event in the past and we are blessed that we are able to bring this back to SJPS once again.
There are 7 flyers with information attached to this week's Lion's Roar. We have a very busy few weeks ahead of us! PLEASE remember to get information for the Lion's Roar to the office by the Friday of the week before you would like it into the newsletter. Actually, Thursday is even better!

Happy Tuesday! God's peace and many blessings,
