Several weeks ago all parents, guardians, alumni, staff, and other friends of the school should have received a letter from Mrs. Kanute (along with the Spring SJS Community Newsletter) outlining the three projects that this year’s annual fund donations will support.  Annual fund donations provide our school with funding for much-needed capital improvement projects that are not covered by tuition.  This year, donations will help defray the cost of replacing the breezeway roof, replacing another set of windows, and upgrading our technology infrastructure to prepare for new classroom technology coming in the fall.

For those families and friends who have already donated, Thank You again for your support!!  If you have not yet made a (tax-deductible) donation, we hope that you will consider helping Saint James School stay strong for the future by making a contribution today.  Every donation – of every size – makes a difference!

There will be a $1.00 Dress Down day this Wednesday to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand.  The dress down day and charity selection are compliments of Alivia (kindergarten) and Taylor (2nd grade), the winners of lunch with the Principal from the 2014 Gala.  As part of their afternoon with Mrs. Kanute, they were able to pick a special activity for the whole school.

Please remember, per our school handbook, the following guidelines apply for dress down days:

• Clothing must not have indecent writing or pictures; inappropriate slogans or advertisements
• Revealing clothing is not allowed (including short shorts, halter tops, half shirts, tank tops, and see-through tops).
• Waistbands must not sag below the waist. Pants legs must not drag on the floor.
• High heels, platform shoes, flip-flops, Crocs, and shoes with no backs are not allowed.
• Clothing must not be torn, ragged, or have holes

Field Day for Pre-K through 7th Grade will be held tomorrow – Tuesday, June 10th – from 9:15 to 1:30 (Raindate: Thursday, June 12th).

Congratulations to the Saint James School Class of 2014!  Below are a few pictures taken today – our 8th graders last day as Saint James students.  Many of these boys and girls have been a part of our school since they were three, four, or five years old.  They have grown up before our eyes and we could not be more proud of all their accomplishments!  We wish the Class of 2014 much success as they now move to the next phase of their academic careers.  We look forward to hearing about all your achievements in high school and in the years beyond.  May God bless you now and always!
