Open Houses for Prospective Families

Please help us spread the word by liking or sharing our Open House Facebook post:

Saint James School will be hosting two Open Houses for prospective families who may be considering SJS for the 2015-2016 school year.  The first will be Tuesday, January 27th at 8:30am.  The second will be Tuesday, March 10th at 6:30pm.

Today the school is mailing out a postcard advertising the Open House to families of select demographics in Manchester and several surrounding towns.  Extra postcards are available in the Main Office if you would like to hand-deliver one to someone who may be interested in attending an Open House.  Or, if you would like the school to mail one to someone you know, please contact Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net.

Word of mouth advertising from our current families has always been our most effective means of bringing wonderful, new families to SJS.  Thank you for helping us spread the word!
