Munson’s Fundraiser

We are excited to announce a delicious way to support Saint James School – our Munson’s Chocolate Fundraiser, with delivery of goodies just in time for Easter!

A copy of the following documents have been sent home with students to help with their selling efforts:

2023 SJS Munson’s flyer

2023 SJS Munson’s Brochure & Order Form

During the fundraiser period, which runs through March 8th, collect orders and money from friends, family, neighbors, etc.  Visit our Campaign page:  https://www.munsonschocolates.com/online-fundraising/saint-james-schoolct-1 to place the order.

Checks should be made payable to Saint James School HSA. Please be sure to check your totals carefully. Copies of online orders and checks should be turned in to school by March 9th.

Orders will be ready the last week of March (pick-up date and instructions will be sent out via the email blast).

New Phone System

Over the break we had a new phone system installed here at school.  Please be sure to listen to the updated menu when calling in as the extension you need may have changed (i.e. you will still press ‘1’ to reach the main office, however the nurse’s line is now number ‘4’, the social worker is now ‘7’, etc.).

Returning Family Registration Due Tomorrow

As a reminder, Returning Family Registration Forms were sent out last week via email and are due back by Thursday, February 23rd to secure your spot for the 2023-2024 school year.  We do have hard copy forms available in the main office as well for families that are unable to print the forms at home.  Please direct requests for another copy of the email or a hard copy form to Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net.
