St. Jude Family,
Last Friday we had wonderful weather for our annual Grandparents Day. Our special guests got to attend a beautiful May Crowning Mass followed by our Spring Program as well as an opportunity to see our school. Several of our students have recently won accolades. Congratulations to Kate Martin for earning a gold medal, the highest honor, at the State Science Fair last weekend. Erik Rocha and Addison Gosslin are this year’s winners of the Joliet Chamber Scholarships, congratulations to each of you! Finally, we are very proud to have a Kazma Scholarship winner this year in Brett Hulbert! Our Flyers are on a roll!
God Bless,
Lucas Stangler
Principal
