Red Envelopes Coming Home Today

Please be sure to look for the RED Christmas Store Envelope in your child’s backpack todayFor younger students especially (pre-k – gr. 4), please complete the wish list on the front of the envelope if your child will be participating on Wednesday.  Parent volunteers will be on hand to help the younger children select items within their budget.

On Wednesday, December 4th Each grade, including Pre-K, will have an opportunity to shop for immediate family and pets during school hours. There will be a wide variety of items for students to select from, with prices ranging anywhere from $1.00 and $10.00 (majority of items in the $4-$5 range).  Due to the number of students that will be shopping, purchases should be limited to immediate family only (parents, siblings, and pets).

All students that will be shopping on Wednesday should bring their money to school in the red envelope provided.

Thank you to the SJS HSA for once again hosting this fun, annual tradition!

Happy Thanksgiving

Dear Saint James School Families,

On behalf of the Saint James School staff and faculty, I want to wish all of our families a blessed Thanksgiving. We are thankful for you and the support you give to our school community!

As you celebrate Thanksgiving this year, please keep in your prayers those that may be facing hardship as well as those that are serving our country and cannot be home with their loved ones.

Enjoy the long holiday weekend with your family and we will look forward to seeing you back at school on Monday, December 2nd.

Peace and blessings,

Mrs. Zorger

Thanksgiving Mass

Today our 1st through 8th graders celebrated Mass with Father Matt in preparation for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Thank you to our 7th graders for hosting, our choir for sharing their beautiful voices, and to all our older students who served as “buddies” to the younger grades.  It is always beautiful to witness our community coming together in prayer to thank God for his many blessings.

IMPORTANT: 11:00am Dismissal Tomorrow

Please note that Saint James School will dismiss at 11:00am tomorrow – Wednesday, November 27th.  Because of the earlier dismissal time, we will NOT have hot lunch on this day.  Aftercare will be in session beginning at 11:00am – ALL students going to Aftercare on this day will need to bring a lunch from home.

Also, because of the earlier dismissal, we WILL have all of our buses available on Wednesday (not the combined bus schedule).
