This morning Mrs. Pam Jorgensen, our school librarian, notified us that her oldest son, Phil, had been taken to the hospital last evening with a serious illness.  After going through several tests and a CAT Scan, it was discovered that he had a large brain tumor.  The doctors there did an emergency brain surgery to try to remove the tumor.  They were able to remove most of it.  However, what they could not remove was located near the brain stem.  Phil is recovering today in intensive care, and the doctors are deciding the next course of action which will probably include chemotherapy and radiation treatments.  Please keep Phil and the Jorgensen Family in your prayers.

 

This has been an especially tough year for Mrs. Jorgensen.  Her father passed away recently, and her younger son, Doug, was very seriously ill with the H1N1 Flu and a heart attack late last fall.  Please keep Mrs. Jorgensen in your prayers.

 

Also please pray for the Goc familiy.  Ken Goc, husband of teacher assistant Mrs. Gail Goc, suffered a stroke over the weekend.  He is still recovering in the hospital.  They are hoping that he will be able to go home tomorrow.  

Would you like to help us plan for the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of St. Gerald School?

 

We have scheduled a meeting for next Monday night (May 4th) at 7:00 p.m. in the School Library to begin the planning for next school year's big celebration.  Everyone is invited to share their ideas and help us have the best celebration that we can possibly have.   It will be a special year. 

 

Please come Monday night if you can.
