Help Us By Decorating your Trunk for Trunk or Treat

/in /by

The HSA Trunk or Treat event is always a huge hit with our SJS students and families.  We are putting out a special request to all families to consider decorating a trunk (without decorated Trunks, it wouldn’t be a Trunk or Treat!). Right now, we have very few people who have committed to decorate a trunk…we need your help!

Trunk designs can be as simple or as elaborate as you would like…any decorations you choose will help ensure a festive event for all to enjoy! All families attending will be voting on trunk designs, and prizes (that even parents will enjoy!) will be awarded in several categories.

Please help up make the afternoon extra special by signing up to decorate your trunk. You can sign up for the event HERE.  If you have already signed-up but did not choose to decorate, you can change your response by sending an email to Lorin at lorindafoe@gmail.com. Thank you for helping us make the day as fun as possible!

IMPORTANT: If your son is in 7th or 8th grade and plans to play basketball, please make every effort to have them at at least one Tryout (they must have in their sports form signed by their doctor).  If they are unable to make it to either, you must notify Mr. Green at cgreen@saintjamesschool.net by Monday afternoon so they can be added to a team and a uniform can be assigned.

Please note, students will receive their team information, the 2018-2019 Basketball registration form, and character contract to hand in (along with payment) once all rosters have been finalized by the coaches.
