Ski Butternut Trip Cancelled
Unfortunately, the Butternut trip scheduled for next Wednesday, March 19th, is being cancelled due to unseasonably warm temperatures. Everyone who had RSVP’d was notified by Denise McCarthy via e-mail about their refund. We will try to schedule the trip again next year if our winter cooperates a little better!
2016 Gala Thank You
A huge Thank You to all the parents, staff, and friends who came out for the 2016 Saint James School Gala on Saturday. We had over 170 attendees and raised just over $21,000 in support of Saint James School!
Of course, we could not have done it without the amazing support and hard work of the Gala Committee and all the volunteers that worked at the event. A special thank you to Gala Chairs Tara Moriarty and Paul Munns for pulling it all together and to volunteer Jen Fiereck of J. Fiereck Photography for the fun pictures (a few of which are below). And last, but not least, THANK YOU to all the parents, staff, and friends who donated items for the class baskets or for the live and silent auctions. We could not have done it without your support – Saint James is certainly blessed to have such a wonderful school community! We hope to see you all again next year at this fun, annual event!
