Please help us spread the word!  Shoppers on retail website Amazon.com can support Saint James School (for free) each time they make a purchase.

To participate in Amazon Smile, Amazon’s charitable giving program, you must enter Amazon by going to www.Smile.Amazon.com.  The website experience is exactly the same, but you will be prompted to select a charity to support.  Search for “St. James Church Corp” (donations go to the school’s account…this is just the name in Amazon’s system for tax number purposes) or by clicking the “Get Started” button below.

Each time you make a purchase using Amazon through the www.Smile.Amazon.com website, Saint James School will receive 0.5% of the purchase price in our account.

Please share this information with your family and friends and remember to use the Smile.Amazon address each time you purchase from Amazon going forward.  If you have any questions, please e-mail our Director of Advancement, Amy Guenther, at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net.

Another afternoon of smiles and fun at the November Book & Art Club.  The group listened to Mrs. Carpenter read a book about the first Thanksgiving, followed by making their own Mayflower Ship & Cornucopia with Mrs. Carpenter and Mrs. Sabatella (click images to enlarge).

We are now opening this special fundraising event to non-SJS families…if you know someone that may want to participate, please send them the information below (it is also posted on our Facebook Page).

Two of our Saint James School moms (both of whom work as professional photographers) will be conducting photography sessions for Christmas Card Pictures on Sunday, November 19th from 12pm-5pm in the Saint James Church basement.   You will receive all images digitally to use for Christmas cards, etc. and 100% of the session fee will go directly to Saint James School! Please see the attached flyer for more details and registration info.

Copy of Christmas Mini Sessions

All families signed up for the Christmas photo shoot will have their name entered into a drawing for the candy cane centerpiece below (flowers included). The drawing will take place prior to the start of the shoot so when the winning family comes in for their session, they can leave with the centerpiece.
