On behalf of all the parents and faculty at Saint James School, Mrs. Kanute would like to take a moment to express her sincere appreciation to the many, many friends of the school who participated in the Foundation’s golf tournament and dinner yesterday. With over 115 people golfing and over 130 people attending the dinner, Saint James School is extremely blessed to have such wonderful support from the greater Manchester community!
Just before dinner, Mr. Timothy Devanney, President of the Saint James School Foundation, awarded our school with a check for $131,000 that will be used for partial tuition assistance, technology, and margin of excellence items for the 2014-2015 school year.
Thank you to all the school families and community members who came out yesterday to support the Foundation and to all the members of the Foundation for all they do to support Saint James School!
