Stock Market Club

/in /by

Only a few spots left!!

Saint James School has decided to participate in The SIFMA Foundation’s acclaimed Stock Market Game.  This program is an online simulation of the global capital markets that engages students in grades 6-12 in the world of economics, investing and personal finance.  SJS will be participating in the next contest which runs from Feb 4th through April 12th.  We are fortunate that 2 of our school parents who are accredited in financial services have volunteered to coach the students through this inaugural participation.  Due to the hands on nature of the game, we will need to limit the number of participants to the first 20 students (open to students in Grades 6 – 8 only) who have returned the attached paperwork and $10 club fee.  The Investment Club will meet on Tues 1/29 from after school until 4pm and then on subsequent Tuesday’s from after school until 3:30pm.  Additional information about this program is available at www.stockmarketgame.org.

Reminder: Volunteer Mass & Reception RSVP Due

/in /by

Volunteers play a critical role here at Saint James School.  Volunteers run many of our fundraising events, social events, and classroom parties.  In addition, our sports coaches are all volunteers, many of our after-school activities are run by volunteers, our Saint James School board (and related committees) are all volunteers, along with the Saint James School Foundation members.

Volunteers provide countless hours tutoring students and helping with marketing-related duties.  In short, volunteers play a very important role here at Saint James School!!

As such, one of our important activities during Catholic Schools Week is to show our appreciation to our volunteers for their “Service” to Saint James School.  This will be done with a special prayer for volunteers during our 9:15am Mass on Wednesday, January 30th, followed by a special reception in the lower church immediately following Mass.

Please join us so that all the students of Saint James School can see the faces of the dedicated parents and family members who donate their time and talents to helping making Saint James School such a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow.

The below form was sent home with students last week.  If you will be attending the Mass and Reception, please return the form to the office by January 24th.
