Christmas Store Volunteers Needed

/in /by

Christmas is just around the corner and we are planning the Christmas Store for our SJS students to shop at! This year we will be extending the shopping hours and using a professional Christmas Store company to stock inventory.   We are looking for volunteers to help with set up on Tuesday, Dec. 12th (after school hours), Wednesday, Dec 13th (full day of shopping for the students) and Thursday, Dec. 14th (full day of shopping and store breakdown before dismissal).  Please email Christine Strickland at christinepesola@hotmail.com if you are interested in volunteering.   Christine will be sending out an email in the upcoming weeks to all volunteers with the full details of the event. Any amount of time can help! Please remember, all volunteers must have completed a background check and VIRTUS training. Thank you for helping make the Christmas Store a success!

Please note Saint James School will have 12:05pm dismissal this WEDNESDAY (11/8) AND THURSDAY (11/9) for parent/teacher conferences.  If your child is going to aftercare on either of those days, they will need a lunch from home.

Also, our November lunch calendar listed a Hot Lunch Option for Friday, November 10th.  Please note that there is NO HOT LUNCH being served on that day due to the public schools being closed so ALL STUDENTS WILL NEED A LUNCH FROM HOME THIS Friday.
