Homework Zone

Beginning December 3^rd, St. Jude will offer a program for students in grades 5-8 in the Family Youth Center from 3:15-4:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  The focus will be on completing homework, providing help through Roncalli High School tutors, hanging out and eating snacks.  A flyer containing the details is available in the school office.  This program will provide an awesome “academically and socially” focused environment for our students to attend after school.

BOOT Season

The leaves have fallen and the temperature has dropped.  Just a reminder that boots are certainly acceptable as long as they are worn with pants pulled over the boots.  Students are not permitted to tuck their pants into their boots.   Thanks 

Phase 2 Update

Plans are moving forward.  We are currently just short of having 50% of all school family pledge cards returned.  Our school goal is to have 100% participation by our school families.  Financial support is obviously necessary for this project to move forward, however, a gift of prayer is just as valuable.  Please consider making a pledge and supporting the campaign through prayer.  If you need a pledge card please call the Parish Center or School Office.

Scholarships Awarded

From Mr. Shelburn:

I wanted to announce that out of the 301 students who took the Roncalli High School Placement test, we had 5 students awarded with scholarships for their high scores.  Out of 10 possible scholarships, St. Jude claimed 5, a first in the history of the test for a single school.  Congratulations to Rachel McKay, Matt Payne, Nick Conner, James Hayden, and Libby Stahl.  I would also like to congratulate the teachers and staff of St. Jude for their role in helping these students reach such a high level of achievement.   Way to go everyone!
