Support Our School

As we wait in joyful anticipation of the new roof later this year, we are excited to share our next Foundations For Our Future (FFOF) project that will significantly enhance the experiences of our children here at St. Jerome. On behalf of our principal Mrs. Van Norman and the rest of our parish school community, we would like to announce that our annual FFOF campaign goal will be to replace the school playgrounds. We aim to construct brand new school playgrounds— inviting spaces where laughter, friendship, and the joy of childhood can flourish.

Our school playgrounds are decades old and there have been improvements to the design and  safety of equipment since our playgrounds were built. The importance of play and recreation in a child’s development cannot be overstated, and a well-designed playground serves as a foundation for physical, social, and emotional growth. With your continued support, we can create a vibrant and safe environment at recess and after school which will benefit generations to come.

The estimated cost for the elementary playground is $60,000-$70,000 and $10,000-$20,000 for the junior high playground. We ask you to prayerfully consider contributing to this year’s campaign, and we want to express our appreciation in advance for your generosity. We certainly understand for some this may be a time of financial hardship and giving right now is not possible, so we humbly ask you to continue to pray for our school and for the success of this year’s FFOF campaign. Our goal is $80,000.
