Please save the date for the 24th Annual Saint James School Foundation Golf Classic & Dinner which will be held on May 9th 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 $152,000 to Saint James School!!

The first Saint James School Board Game Club was a hit!  Thanks to Mrs. Piotrowski for setting up this activity and Mrs. Poth for running it yesterday.  Also, special thanks to Peyton C. (8th grade) and Kaitlyn N. (7th Grade) for their assistance with our 1st – 3rd grade participants.

Information on the next Board Game Club date will be sent via our daily e-mail blast soon.

Due to a scheduling conflict the Pokemon event scheduled for February 2 will be postponed.  A new date will be announced shortly.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

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 helping with office-related duties, 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 31st, 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 this Wednesday, January 24th (extended deadline).
