Bless our mothers with the melody of Your love, they who have shared how to speak, how to sing and how to pray to You. Bless all mothers with good things: with health, with joy, love, laughter and pride in our children.

A Message from Saint Jude Parish Trustees Fiscal Year News: Thank you so much to all the households who are current on their financial commitments and to all of you who continue to support Saint Jude School. Our school and our parish -- our collective spiritual home and our shared educational endeavor – continue to thrive through God’s grace and the continued support of parents and parishioners. We really appreciate your continued support. Without your help, the presence of this dynamic Catholic faith community and educational institution in the heart of Wauwatosa would suffer. We are now just weeks away from the end of our fiscal year in June. You may not realize that Saint Jude finished both of the last two years in the red. This means that, despite all the fundraising and fee collection, and despite the careful analysis given to budgeting and paying expenses, we nonetheless took in less money than we spent. While these operating deficits were not huge, they nonetheless cause concern. As the Parish trustees discussed at the annual parish meeting in the Fall, we all need to do everything we can to avoid finishing in the red this year. The good news is that if we receive the expected commitments from parish households, we will meet our current expenses. That’s true even after including the steep increases in heating and snow-plowing that we experienced this winter. The challenging news is that not all of us are yet current on our annual commitment. So please complete your annual commitment to the parish soon, preferably well before the end of the fiscal year. Maybe it would help to start your planning now as to how you will make that last payment by the time you drop off your students on the last day of school. Your Saint Jude Home and School Association asks you to join in expressing appreciation to our Saint Jude faculty and staff. We have a number of activities planned which we would like to share with you. Monday, May 5th Morning Announcements - A Teacher Appreciation Poem was read. Teachers received a bag of red foil hearts in their mailboxes. The message which accompanied the sweet treats read, “You enrich our lives and sweeten our HEARTS.” Tuesday, May 6th Morning Announcements - Included with the announcements was a special message - “Today a United States flag is being flown over the top of the Wisconsin State Capitol in honor of our fabulous teachers, administrators and support staff here at Saint Jude the Apostle School. The parents and students of Saint Jude appreciate all you do for us throughout the school year. Thank you!” In the teachers’ lounge coffee and donuts were available for the teachers. The special message for the day was “Donut I’d do without a teacher like YOU!” Wednesday, May 7th Wednesday will be a RED CARPET MORNING! On the red carpet will be stars with teachers’ and administrators’ names. In the mailboxes will be individually wrapped s’mores with the message “We need s’more teachers like you!” Thursday, May 8th In the mailboxes, teachers will find personalized water bottles with the message, “Your love for teaching is extremely refreshing!” Each teacher will receive a jar of notes with special messages from the students. Friday, May 9th Teachers will be treated to a special luncheon, hosted by the Powell family. During each of the three lunch sessions, one name of a teacher will be drawn and the recipient will receive a special gift. Flag Flown in Honor of Saint Jude Teachers At the request of the Home and School Association, a United States Flag was flown over the top of the Wisconsin State Capitol Building May 6th, 2014, in honor of the outstanding, dedicated teachers, administrators, and support staff at Saint Jude the Apostle School in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. The flag and a certificate commemorating the flying signed by the Senate Chief Clerk will be delivered to our school in the next few weeks. This commemoration is part of National Teacher Appreciation Week which runs from May 5th to May 9th. In an added note, we were excited to find out that our 4th grade students will be visiting the capital May 6th, the very day “our” flag is flying. Congratulations, Meaghan! Ten thousand Wisconsin students participated in National History Day this year, and just under 600 middle school and high school students attended the state event on Saturday at Edgewood College in Madison. Of the 600 state qualifiers, Saint Jude the Apostle School had an impressive fourteen students who advanced on to state competition, following local and regional competition. We are very excited and proud to announce that 7th grade student, Meaghan Buckholdt has advanced and will be competing at the national level for her website on the Keating- Owen Child Labor Act of 1916. For those who would like to take a look at Meaghan’s project, you can check it out at 41604188.nhd.weebly.com. Friday evening, many of the Saint Jude families met up at the Hilton Monona Terrace for some swimming and then headed off to a group dinner party at the Great Dane. Saturday morning, many groups were up early and off to the Dane County Farmers Market. Then everyone headed off to a morning of competition. From the students who attended the State competition, the judges selected two Wisconsin representatives from each junior and senior category, for a total of forty Wisconsin representatives who will now compete at the national level June 16th, at the University of Maryland. Seventh grade parents will want to mark their calendars for Thursday, June 5th. On that day, at the 8:15 AM Mass, we will be celebrating our annual All-school Mass to honor our graduates and welcome the 7th graders to their upcoming leadership positions as 8th graders. At the “Call to Leadership”, the 7th graders acknowledge their upcoming leadership role, recognizing that their words and actions will impact the younger students. As 8th grade role models, we look forward to witnessing behavior and attitudes of trust, honor, respect and responsibility. For the remainder of the school year, the parking lot between the west side of the school and the Daycare building, will be closed until 3:00 PM. Recess and other school activities take place in that area and any cars in that area jeopardize the safety of the students. The south parking lot is open at all times during the school day. Thank you for your cooperation. Mother’s Day Rose Sale Roses will be sold the weekend of May 10th and 11th after all Masses. Roses are being sold for $2.00 to support Wisconsin Right to Life Milwaukee Chapter’s Educational Fund. A rose is a symbol of life, so please honor Mom and support life! .

How do I check to see when I’m scheduled? Go to yourclasspage.com and enter St. Jude’s code and password. Click on AAAAA LUNCH, SUPERVISION. You will then see the files for calendar, list by family name, and the substitute list. Every family is listed with their corresponding dates. I can’t remember how many dates I might have left. How many lunch hour supervisions do we have to fulfill? Every family is responsible for either 4 dates for fall/spring (Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, March, April, May, June) or 3 dates for winter (Dec, Jan, Feb). If you aren’t sure, look up your last name as mentioned above. I have a scheduling conflict and I can’t do my lunch hour supervision. What am I supposed to do? 1. Ask a parent in one of your children’s classes to trade with you. You can look people up in the directory or send an SOS via class email list explaining your situation. More times than not, someone can step in to help you. Switch dates with them or pay them the $20 to sub for you. 2. Open the sub list that is available at AAAAA LUNCH, SUPERVISION and click on Playground Supervision Sub List for 2013 – 2014. Make some phone calls and find a substitute. Pay him or her the $20. 3. Parents’ roles are vital to the safety of students during recess. It’s your responsibility to find a substitute and “no shows” are fined. Where do I go and when do I need to be there? Please arrive for lunch hour supervision at 11:10. Go to the cafeteria and sign in on the clipboard inside the first door to the kitchen. Please also take a lanyard that will give you a specific station to supervise outside. This is important so that ALL areas of the playground are supervised appropriately. Every lanyard lists the rules of each area as well. You will be responsible for helping students in the cafeteria and supervision outdoor recess. Detailed information is available on the bulletin board. Mike Mullen, safety officer, will help direct you if you are not sure about what to do. Please refrain from cell phone use during supervision time. THANK YOU FOR DOING YOUR LUNCH HOUR SUPERVISION J Honoring Our Heroes RECOGNIZING THOSE FROM THE SAINT JUDE COMMUNITY WHO SERVE OR HAVE SERVED Our Veterans Police Officers Firefighters Those Currently Serving First Responders Memorial Day 2014 will soon be here. Since we won’t be in school that day, we at Saint Jude School would like to recognize at a special prayer service all in the Saint Jude community who serve or have served our country in the military and/or our communities as police officers, firefighters, or first responders. We are hoping to receive the names of Saint Jude parishioners as well as the names of parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, other family and friends of our community who have distinguished themselves through their selfless commitment to our country and communities. We wish to honor all who have helped to protect our freedom and our communities, whether dating back to World War II veterans to those serving today. They all need to know how much they are appreciated for the many sacrifices which they have made and continue to make. We will list the names we receive in our May 21st newsletter and include them in a special prayer remembrance on Thursday, May 22nd, at 8:15 AM in the new gym.
