If you know of any families with children who may be considering Saint James School, please stop by the main office and pick up a postcard or brochure for them. Or, if you know of families with young children but don’t know them well enough to hand-deliver a postcard, please e-mail our Advancement Director, Amy Guenther, at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net and she will mail one out on behalf of the school.
If you know of a family who would like to apply for admission for the 2016-2017 school year, you can direct them to the Admissions tab on our website to complete a new student application and learn more about the admissions process. The first round of new student acceptance letters will be sent out shortly. Many of our classes are nearing capacity, so please encourage anyone you know to get their application in right away. Any questions on admissions can be directed to Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net or Mrs. DelSignore in the main office.
Word of mouth has always been our best source of attracting new families – Thank You for helping Saint James School continue to grow and thrive!

A special thank you to Gala Chairs Tara Moriarty and Paul Munns for pulling it all together and to volunteer Jen Fiereck of J. Fiereck Photography for the fun pictures (a few of which are below). And last, but not least, THANK YOU to all the parents, staff, and friends who donated items for the class baskets or for the live and silent auctions.
