CSW Reminders

We are enjoying celebrating Catholic Schools Week this week!  As a reminder, tomorrow is the last day to bring in items for Little Sisters of the Poor.  Here are notes on the remainder of the week.  You can download the full CSW Schedule HERE.

On Wednesday (1/31)
All families are invited to join us as our girls and boys Varsity teams play St. Bridget at EAST CATHOLIC High School.  There is plenty of seating at the ECHS gymnasium so we are hoping to see many SJS faces at the game to cheer on the players!  Girls play at 6:00pm, followed by the boys at 7:15pm.  Our cheerleaders will also be cheering.  We hope to see lots of Saber fans there!

On Thursday (2/1)
Students may come to school with crazy hair (but no hair color please) and wear crazy hats and socks.  They should still wear their standard Thursday uniform with these fun accessories.

On Friday (2/2)
Blue & Gold Dress Down Day (or any color Saint James School Spiritwear t-shirts/sweatshirts may be worn).  Please note all standard dress down guidelines from the handbook apply.

CSW Mass

Box Tops Contest Update

Thank you to the parents who have been scanning Box Tops to help their child’s grade win a dress down day (while earning free money for SJS at the same time)!  Box Tops Dress Down Contest

Latest update is that Kindergarten is back in the lead, with 5th Grade & 8th Grade right behind.  With two full months left, there is still plenty of time for other grades to catch up!
