Dear Students and Parents,
I would like to let you know that I will be gone next week for the Creighton Model FertilityCare Practictioner Training. This program will serve as professional development and help to solidify the foundation of the Family Life curriculum at St. Jerome, as it should align with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Br. Chris will take care of all my classes. If you need to reach him, you may contact him at (310) 923-2678 / youthministry@stjeromewestchester.org. He will not be updating the wiki, so please make sure that all homework assignments are written down in the Agenda Book as you are always expected to do.
Please don’t forget that service hours and Spiritual Formation projects must be turned in by November 20. All projects for both programs MUST be pre-approved before completion.
Any pending Gradelink entries will be entered when I return the following week.
Please say a prayer for me, and I will be praying for you as well! Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
Mrs. Dyogi

Dear 6th graders and Parents,
Here is a link to Chapter Study Guides for the 6th grade Religion Text that you can use to prepare for the chapter quizzes.
Christ Our Life Chapter Study Guides (Gr. 6)
You will see that the page numbers do not exactly match up because these study guides reference the newest 2009 edition of the Christ Our Life series. They still include the key points for each chapter from the 2002 edition that we are currently using.
Please bookmark this link on your computer so you can review as we move along through the curriculum.
Thank you!
