Dear SJPS families,
Ash Wednesday is tomorrow. Our students will be attending Mass at 8:00 a.m. (no Friday Mass attendance this week). Our 4K and 5K friends will be joining us at Church. We will be journeying through Lent this year with a resource that we used last year. It is a Lenten Devotional from Catholic Sprouts and is called The Jesus Tree: According to Matthew. It is a systematic daily devotional that encourages everyone to get to know Jesus Christ through a study of the Gospel of Matthew. The devotional begins with the birth of Jesus and ends with the Resurrection. Each day has a short passage of scripture, an explanation of the scripture story, a prayer, and a simple image on an ornament that represents the story. It is also a family devotional. If you are interested in journeying through Lent as a family with this resource, you can find information and the resource at CatholicSprouts.com.
Thank you for the wonderful Tuesday Treats for Teachers! It has been such a beautiful blessing for us. We are grateful!
Thank you for making the 50th SJPS Tournament of the Stars a wonderful event! Special thanks to Bill Millot and the SJP Athletic Association along with all of the volunteers who helped out over the three weekends and many games. This would not be possible without volunteers. It is one of the many, many things that make St. Jerome Parish School such a beautiful school community!
Registration is open for Dance Fit! Register at MyBooster.com There will be a packet that will be coming home on March 8th. We are excited for this new fundraising adventure that Kathy Collins has brought to SJPS!
Track sign ups are due by March 17. Please return the sign up form in your family folder.
Is your son interested in trying out volleyball? St. Jerome is offering an opportunity for boys in grades 4-8 to participate in intramural volleyball from March 8-31. See the flyer below. This is an amazing chance to learn about this fun sport and play next year for St. Jerome.
Peace and blessings,
Mary Johnson
