Please Use Caution On Sidewalks

A gentle reminder, please proceed with extra caution on the sidewalks around the school.  While our maintenance staff does continually treat the sidewalks and blacktop areas around our property, the sidewalks across the street are cleared by the homeowners and may not receive the same level of attention.  As the snow piles around the school begin to melt during the daytime and refreeze in the evenings, we ask that everyone be extra observant of where they are walking on their way into school each day.

Box Tops Winner

Congratulations to our 1st graders for winning the most recent Box Tops contest.  The teachers will let you know when the dress down day will occur.

Thank you to everyone who sent in Box Tops.

We realize that physical Box Tops are becoming harder to find, but encourage you to please download the Box Tops app and scan you receipts.  Box Tops has always been an important funding source for our school.

Last Call: Munson’s Fundraiser

 

Fill your Easter baskets from the comfort of home and support our school at the same time!

SJS is running an online Munson’s fundraiser. Easter candy such as bunnies and jellybeans will be available, as well as a range of other delicious Munson’s candy.

Orders can be placed from February 8 – February 24, online only, by following this link: https://www.munsonschocolates.com/online-fundraising/st-james-schoolct/

Unfortunately Munson’s does not offer online payment at this time, so once you have placed your order, payment needs to be sent to the school office in an envelope marked Munson’s. Checks should be made out to St. James School HSA.

Orders will be available for pickup at the school in late March, before Easter. Please keep an eye on the email blast for more information on pickup in March. If you have any questions, email Kate Davis at 70greenbean@sbcglobal.net.
