The annual Saint James School Soirée & Auction is our largest fundraiser of the year and a great adults-only event to celebrate the awesome community we share while raising money for our school! The event will take place on Saturday, March 28th from 7:00pm – 11:30pm, in what we are calling The Saber’s Den (our school’s gymnasium, transformed for the event). This year’s theme will be 60’s Beach Party! Attendees are welcome to come in their favorite 60’s Beach Party attire (but please know that beach attire is not required to attend).
In keeping with tradition, attendees of the Soirée will have the option to participate in the live and/or silent auctions and purchase raffle tickets for the class baskets.
All proceeds from the event will benefit Saint James School. There will be delicious food from Highland Park Market, a cash bar from Lucky Taco, a hula hoop contest, and – of course – A WHOLE LOT of fun!
Invitations and RSVP cards are being sent home with students this week so please check their folders!
If you would like to volunteer at the event, donate an auction item, or help us solicit donations, please contact parent volunteer chair Erin Daley at erindaley6416@gmail.com. Information on sponsorships can be found here: 2020 Soiree Sponsorship Form
The 2020 Soirée artwork was beautifully designed by Alessandra and Miles Maull (who won this honor at last year’s event).

/in Front Page Picture /by Saint James SchoolImportant: Tardy Arrival Reminder
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolMrs. Zorger would like to remind parents of the importance of getting your child/ren to school on time each morning. There have been an excessive number of late arrivals again the last few weeks (often the same students) and we are asking for our parents to help get these child/ren back on schedule.
Late arrivals are disruptive to the teacher, morning announcements, and the classroom routine. Planning to be punctual is also an important skill that will benefit your child/ren in all stages of their academic and professional career. If you find yourself not making it to school between 7:30am and 7:50am, please take a few moments today to talk to your child/ren about the importance of being punctual and help them readjust their morning schedule accordingly.
Please remember it is our policy (as noted in the parent/student handbook) that 3 unexcused tardy arrivals will result in a detention. We do understand that sometimes there are unforeseen circumstances, but those should be few and far between.
Thank you again for your support of our school policies and procedures.
