God of Love, we ask that you listen to this prayer.
Bless the mothers of our families. Bless them with the strength of Your spirit,
they who have taught their children the many important life lessons needed
to be good individuals with strong moral values and a sense of what is truly
important for success and happiness. 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. Surround them with many good friends
to love and support them during the difficult and happy times.
We ask you this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

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

Lunch Hour Supervision FAQs
I know I have lunch hour supervision sometime, but I don’t know my dates. 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. Students, parents, veterans and all who serve the public are invited to attend this brief service of
patriotic gratitude.
.
If you have a loved one who served in the military and is deceased, and would like his/her name included in the tribute and
prayers, please include that information below as well.
