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.

  • 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

Congratulations to the SJS Class of 2014!

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!
