About the Race

We are excited to announce that our 20th annual Race for Education will take place on Thursday, May 1st. 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 fourth 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 $25,000 for 2025! 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:

Refreshing the grass and mulch surfaces on our two playgrounds as well as purchasing more playground equipment.
Replacing the window shades in our classrooms for student and staff comfort, energy efficiency, and safety.
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 1st at 9:30 AM. (Rain date is Friday, 5/2) 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.
