Last Call: Catholic Schools Month Collection

As part of Catholic Schools Month, the Saint James School student council is spearheading a collection to help those in need. Throughout the next two weeks leading up to our school’s blue & gold pep rally, student council is asking students to bring in supplies for the St. Vincent de Paul Shelter.  Please consider sending in items such as:

  • Thermal socks
  • Gloves
  • Toiletries: deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, and shaving cream

The boxes of donations will be collected from each of the homerooms on Friday, February 2nd.

As always, we thank you for your consideration and support.
