"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:1-3 | | |

From the Principal
Parents,
We always talk about how blessed we are with our St. Jude community, and it is so true. Making time to be involved isn't always easy, but it is that sacrifice which makes a difference for our children, our school, and our parish. We still have a few opportunities as we come to the end of the year to contribute to the community experience in our parish. Raiders Day will take place on Tuesday, May 21st. There are many opportunities remaining for parents to volunteer to help make this event happen. Without help from parents and families, these events wouldn't be possible.
Additionally, the St. Jude Parish festival is rapidly approaching. This event is one of the largest fundraisers for our parish. But more than that, it is a chance to connect with the people of St. Jude and the families of the people your children see on a daily basis here at school. But again, without volunteers to serve our community, these types of events won't be successful.
Please check out the information below for ways to contribute to and serve as volunteers for events like the festival, Raiders Day, and Vacation Bible School.
Finally, Happy Mother's Day to all mothers or mother figures! We will say a special prayer for you this weekend!
God Bless,
Mrs. Meece
