Catholic Schools Month
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolThe Month of January is known as Catholic Schools Month. This is the time each year we recognize and honor all the wonderful qualities of Catholic Education. At the end of the month we will celebrate with some special events including our annual Saint James School Blue & Gold Pep Rally and an Open House for prospective families (more details to come soon!).
This is a great opportunity for you to talk to your children about why you chose a Catholic school for them and how fortunate they are to be part our the Saint James School community. Teachers will also be talking to students about this, and sharing their own reasons for choosing to teach in a Catholic school.
