Saint James School Children’s Mass This Sunday

/in /by

This Sunday, September 8th at 9:00am, Saint James School will host a special Mass with students serving as readers, ushers, and gift bearers.   All Saint James School students and their parents are invited to attend in a show of support for our school!

Saint James School students are encouraged to wear their school uniforms (all students serving in any capacity must wear their SJS winter uniform).  This is a great way for the Saint James Church parishioners (many of whom very generously support our school) to see the exceptional students they are investing in.

The choir will begin performing at next month’s children’s Mass (October 13th) and Coffee & Donuts after Mass will resume on October 13th as well.

All Saint James School families are welcome regardless of faith or home church.

Scholastic Book Fair: Volunteers Needed

/in /by

The HSA will be hosting the annual Scholastic Book Fair from Monday, September 23 through Thursday, September 26.  The book fair will be open for students to shop during the school day and for parents to shop during the evenings of our “Meet the Teachers” nights.  Proceeds from the book fair (up to 50% of your purchase!!) go towards funding new books and equipment for the classrooms and the school library.

Volunteers are needed to help set-up/clean-up the book fair and to work at the fair by helping students make selections and serving as cashiers.  Please note that in order to volunteer you must have completed VIRTUS training and a Background Check.  If you are able to help, please click HERE to access the Volunteer Sign Up.  You will need to create an account if you don’t already have one and then proceed to register for a date and time period to help.  Any questions can be directed to Alicia Poth (aliciapoth@gmail.com).

Any time you can give would be appreciated to help us make this year’s book fair another huge success.  Thank you!

Morning Dropoff/Students Crossing

/in /by

Please remember when our crossing guards are in the crosswalk – ALL cars must come to a stop.  Please do not turn onto Otis or pull forward until the crossing guard has safely crossed our students and has returned to her position on the sidewalk.

The crossing guard has also requested that we ask parents to look all around them very carefully before slowly pulling away from the “stop and go” area.

Thank you for your continued support in ensuring everyone has a great start to their school day.
