The Lion's Roar

Happy St. Patrick's Day - Thursday, March 17th

Dear Parents and Families,

This Thursday the students may wear green and SJPS wear! In the afternoon, at 1:50 p.m., there will be a Pep Rally to send off our 8th grade girls to the Padre Serra! They play at 7:45 p.m. at St. Thomas More in Milwaukee. Go Lions!! You are welcome to come for the pep rally to cheer on the team! Sign in at the school office.

Our Dance Fit Fundraiser is continuing this week! So far we have raised over $9,000! See the graphic below for our progress as of this morning. The Dance-a-thon is this Thursday morning!

Friday is the all middle school trip to the Wisconsin Catholic Youth Rally in Waukesha. This very special event is being paid for and supported by our parish and St. Jerome Youth Ministry. We are grateful for this opportunity.

Peace and blessings,

Mary Johnson
