From the Principal

Parents,


Thank you to everyone who made our first "All Who Hunger" mass/dinner with the 8th grade such a success last weekend. It was so nice to break bread together at both mass and during the dinner and form some meaningful connections with one another. The next "All Who Hunger" mass is October 21st for the 5th grade.  


We also would like to welcome a new face to the front office at St. Jude. Kelly Kuntz has joined our front office staff. She is currently in training and will be taking Robbie Cahill's place when Robbie retires in about a month. Please help Kelly feel welcome and stop by to wish Robbie well during her remaining few weeks. 


Have a wonderful weekend!



God Bless,

Mrs. Meece

St. Jude Gym Sound System Upgrade

We are excited to announce that a new sound system has been installed in our gym. It includes four new high-powered speakers hung from the ceiling along with state-of-the-art mixers and other electronics. This project was the vision of the late Brian Morris and the Men’s Club took the initiative to raise substantial funds and start the ball rolling on design and vendor selection. Along with the Men’s Club’s contribution to the project, The Athletic Board and the School Commission also made significant financial donations and were highly involved in the design and specs of the project. School functions, the reverse raffle, festival activities, ball games and other gym events will all be much more enjoyable and easier to manage with this new system. 

LET’S GO!

Happy Constitution Day!
