Reminder: 2023 Annual Fund Campaign

/in /by

Last week your student should have brought home a letter from Mrs. Zorger (along with the Spring SJS Community Newsletter) kicking off our 2023 Annual Fund Campaign.

Donations to our Annual Fund Campaign have been instrumental in supporting important projects at our school that simply cannot be covered by tuition/standard fundraising.  Annual Fund dollars, along with several generous bequests and grants, have helped us keep our school facilities in great condition with new windows, roofs and recently provided the funding for our new STREAM Innovation Lab.

This year, Annual Fund donations will once again be used to further enrich the faith-filled educational experience provided to our students, support our talented faculty, and respond to unforeseen needs and opportunities that may arise.  Every gift makes a difference!

For additional details or to donate online, please visit saintjamesschool.net/annualfund

We gratefully thank you for your consideration of supporting this important initiative at our school.

K-8 Food Allergy Form For Fall 2023

Per Manchester Public Schools, who supplies our hot lunch program, students who require hot lunch modifications for food allergies or other dietary restrictions are now required to provide a “Medical Statement for Meal Modifications in School Nutrition Programs” form signed by the child’s physician. This form can be found below or obtained from the nurse’s office.  If your student has food allergies/restrictions and will NOT eat hot lunch at school, please notify our nurse.  Please note, this does not refer to dietary preferences but rather a physical condition that restricts the child’s diet.
