THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU

Thank you to so many people who helped make this year’s Winterfest celebration so special in every way.

First and foremost, thank you once again to Kate Harteau and Anne Mueller and their families for chairing this event.

The time, energy, dedication and effort they put into making everything so wonderful can’t begin to be calculated.

This was the first year for Kate and Anne chairing this event and they did such a magnificent job. Thanks also to the Waldoch family who have passed on the torch after a number of years of chairing the event.

We are most grateful.

The Bunzel family came through once again and outdid themselves by providing the most delicious food which was enjoyed throughout the afternoon. We are very thankful to you!

We are most appreciative for the Home and School Association, its presidents, Jen and Tom Olejniczak, the other officers and members for sponsoring and working countless hours to provide this

fun-raiser, friend-raiser and fund-raiser which benefits all. What an outstanding job you all do!

Thank you to the teachers who turned out in full force, as did the army of parents and Middle School students to help in so many capacities -

working in the kitchen, running the games, creatively painting the faces, collecting the tickets, and filling all the roles needed

to make for a splendid, fun-filled day for young and old alike. Thank you so much!

Finally, to all who supported by your presence and participation, we thank you. The overwhelming support this event receives

is so greatly appreciated! The proceeds for this and all Home and School fundraisers help to enhance the many programs which benefit all the Saint Jude School community.

Grade 8 Mary Murray

All students in grades 1 - 8 enjoyed bowling on Tuesday. Whether an expert or someone new to the game, it was a great

experience for everyone.

The kindergarten students enjoyed a

special presentation about therapy dogs. Learning about how these special animals assist others and help

provide affection, love and companionship to others was a lesson in how even a dog can

let his/her light shine.

Hands-on Science Works for 5K Students

Building a volcano and then watching it erupt was a great way for the 5K students to learn about the earth’s surface and how it changes once a volcano erupts.

It’s a New Year!

Tired of what you wore last year? Some things around the house no longer looking as good as they once did even though they’re in good shape?

If you’re looking to move things on as you get new clothes or household items, please do keep the Saint Jude Thrift Shop in mind.

You can donate gently used clothing, toys and household items that are in good condition. (The Thrift Shop is not able to accept televisions or computer equipment.)

Donations may be dropped off at any time at the shed which is located near the Wauwatosa Day Care door.

The Thrift Shop is on the basement level of the Community Center/ Wauwatosa Day Care and is open each Wednesday and Saturday

from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Cy Jung Blood Drive

Saint Jude will be sponsoring the upcoming Cy Jung Blood Drive on Monday, February 5th

from 2:30 - 6:30 PM in the cafeteria.

All blood donations are so greatly appreciated and always needed by area hospitals. If you can help,
