SJS Student Mass @ Saint James Church

Please join us this Sunday, November 13th at 9:00am for a special school mass, where Saint James students will be serving in many capacities.  A reception in the lower church will follow the mass with coffee, juice, and donuts provided.

All Saint James School students and their parents are encouraged to come show support for our school.  In addition, Saint James School students are encouraged to wear their school uniforms (all students serving in any capacity at these masses must wear their SJS winter uniform).  This is a great way for the Saint James Church parishioners (many of whom very generously support our school through a monthly school collection and donations to our Annual Fund) to see the exceptional students they are investing in.

All Saint James School families are welcome regardless of faith or home parish.  We hope to see you there!

Election Day Pictures

A Presidential election year offers many great teachable moments for students at all grade levels.  All grades have been learning about the Presidential election and, on Tuesday, all participated in voting exercises.  Here are a few pictures from Tuesday (click to enlarge), which are also posted on our Facebook page.
