About the Race

We are excited to announce that our 19th annual Race for Education will take place on Thursday, May 2nd. This Race serves not only as an important fundraiser, but also as an opportunity for our school community to celebrate our successes through the last several years. St. Jerome was recently named a School of Distinguished Instruction by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for the third consecutive year, demonstrating consistent school-wide academic growth. Our walking together will be a display of unity and thanksgiving. We continue to be committed to providing excellent spiritual and academic experiences for our students.

Our Goal

With your support and generosity, we hope to raise $20,000! All monies raised directly benefit the children of St. Jerome. We are proud of the improvements that have recently been made to our programs and facilities. With your generosity, we can continue our commitment to excellence here at St. Jerome School including the following projects:

New flooring and entry mats in the hallways of both buildings for a quieter learning environment, student and staff safety, an updated look, and easier maintenance.
Upgrading the PA system and network for better coverage on the playgrounds, hallways, stairwells, and in the school hall for announcements and emergency communication.
Purchasing additional materials and supplies to enhance our specials classes, after school programs, and student activities

Race Day

The Race is scheduled for Thursday, May 2nd at 9:30 AM. (Rain date is Friday, 5/3) Our students and faculty will walk a designated route through the Winchester Park neighborhood. Neighbors are encouraged to decorate windows and front yards with messages of encouragement for our walkers. The students will be permitted to wear the school gym uniform that day.
