Book Fair Chair Needed

The Scholastic Book Fair is one of the most popular events of the school year! Students, parents and teachers all love shopping for new books and the school raises an impressive amount of funds to help expand classroom and school libraries. Next year the Book Fair will be held from Sept 23-26. The fair will run during the school day from the 23rd-26th, as well as the evenings of the 24th and 25th during “Meet the Teacher’s” nights.

A chairperson is needed to help organize the book fair and oversee it (with the help of many parent volunteers) during the week of 9/23/19. While this is a big time commitment, it is extremely rewarding! Last year’s book fair chair, Heather Meyer, is available to guide a new chairperson and has a very organized approach to managing each step along the way. If you are interested in learning more about heading up this fun event for our school next year, please reach out to Alicia at aliciapoth@gmail.com.

Fun Friday at Aftercare

Are your students looking for additional fun, after-school activities with friends?  Why not have them attend the Friday afternoon activities at our school’s Aftercare program?

Each Friday is a different themed activity that students of all ages can enjoy!  (Families must be registered with the Aftercare program before their student(s) can participate.)

This Friday, 5/17 will be the Yogi Bear Movie from 2010.

Friday, 5/24 – BINGO!

Friday, 5/31 – Arts & Crafts

 

Any questions, please reach out to Ms. Jean at jburdick@saintjamesschool.net.  The hourly Aftercare charge is just $10 an hour (for one child) if your family is not already on the “full-time” plan.  You can still register for aftercare if you would like your child to attend.
