Our basketball season is under way!  The SJS concession stand is going to be up and running this year and we need your help.

We need parents to be present at the concession stand and oversee the student volunteers.  At least one adult is needed to be at concessions while it is open.  7th & 8th grade student volunteers can work at the stand and receive volunteer hours for their time.  Please consider coming in for an hour or so with your student in order to help them complete their hours and help the school at the same time.  The stand cannot run without an adult present.  You do not need to have a student playing in the basketball program in order to volunteer.  All of the profit from the proceeds go directly to SJS.

Currently we need volunteers for Saturday, January 13 at the following times:

11:30-12:30
12:30-1:30
1:30-2:30
2:30-3:30
3:30-4:30

If you or your student are interested in volunteering, please email Andrea Piotrowski at ampiotrowski@yahoo.com.  Thank you!

There will be a St. James Parish Mass held this evening for Father Burns at 7:00pm at Saint James Church, calling hours will also be at the church from 6:00pm – 7:00pm.  His Funeral is planned for tomorrow (Thursday) at 10:00am at Saint James Church.  If school is in session tomorrow (and not closed due to the impending snow), our 6th – 8th grade students will attend his funeral.  These are the students that would have known Father Burns well.  Please make sure your 6th – 8th grader is in their regular school uniform tomorrow.

Any other parents that would like their student to attend the funeral may pick their child/ren up at school at 10:00 in the main office.  Please send a note to the teacher so that we know they will be leaving school for the funeral.
