There is Still Time to Register For The Foundation Golf Event
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolThe 25th Annual Saint James School Foundation Golf Classic & Dinner which will be held on Wednesday, May 8th at Manchester Country Club.
The Saint James School Foundation is a privately run endowment fund providing over $100,000 each year to Saint James School in support of our financial aid program, ongoing technology upgrades, and our school’s Margin of Excellence programs. Last year, the foundation donated over $150,000 to Saint James School! Each year, the Foundation holds a golf tournament and dinner in support of their mission.
This annual event is a lot of fun with a great mixture of current SJS parents, former SJS parents, and SJS alumni. You can sign up as a foursome, a single, or just come for the dinner! Sponsorship and registration information can be found HERE.
