Santa Visits SJS

Saint James School would like to extend a very special Thank You to Santa Claus for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit the school yesterday (and hand out candy canes). All the kids – from Pre-K through Grade 8 – really enjoyed his visit!!  Here are a few pictures captured on the upper floor during Santa’s visit.
