Christmas Show!

Dear Parents,

Today's Christmas Show was a huge success! Thank you for coming and being a part of our celebration.

As we prepare for our Christmas break, I will update the blog once we return from our vacation. The children will not have homework. However, continue to work with them in all subjects, especially Math (diving three- and four-digit dividends).

On behalf of the St. Jerome teachers, have a blessed and wonderful Christmas!

Best,

Mr. LaFrossia
