The HSA (Home & School Association) will hold its second meeting of the new school year this evening (10/7), from 7:00-8:00pm in the school cafeteria.  We strongly encourage all of our SJS parents/ grandparents to attend to learn about the many fun (and fundraising!) events that will be happening here at school over the next few months and throughout the year.

When you arrive at the school, please ring the buzzer at the breezeway doors and then head downstairs to the cafeteria.

Thank you to all our students, staff, and families who have made purchases at our 2021 Scholastic Book Fair!

Tomorrow (Thursday) is the last day for students to shop at the Scholastic Book Fair (until 10:00am).

 

Please be advised the Book & Art Club for 1st and 2nd grade is full for this first session.

Box Tops for Education is an easy and fast way to support our school!  If you have not already done so, please take a moment to download the Box Tops for Education App and select St James School as your designated school.

Once you have the app, just use the “SCAN” button to scan your store receipt within 14 days of purchase.  The app will identify Box Tops products on your receipt and automatically credit it to our school’s earnings.  It’s super easy!

Your earnings may seem small but they really do add up!  Traditionally we have averaged over $1,500 a year (except for the past 2 years, when numbers were down) with lifetime earnings of over $27,000!

Once we reach out $1,000 goal, our entire school community will earn a free dress down day!

 

The much-loved Saint James School Book & Art Club is returning!  Facilitated by Mrs. Carpenter, Mrs. Tierney, and Mrs. Rafferty students participating in this after school activity will read a story together, then complete a craft project related to the story’s theme.  Crafts and stories are typically based around the season or a specific Holiday.  Our first session of the year will be held on Thursday, October 28th and will be for students in our 1st and 2nd grade classes.

Space is limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis (upon receipt of permission slip and $5 fee to the SJS main office).  Please RSVP by 10/6 using this permission slip: October Book & Art Club Permission Slip Grades 1&2
