Thank you to Ms. Jean for sending in these cute pictures of students making (and eating!) Christmas tree treats (click pictures to enlarge) during aftercare last Friday.

A huge Thank You to all the families who donated toys to our Christmas toy drive this year!  There were so many wonderful donations – we know that many children will be smiling on Christmas morning because of your generosity.

We are pleased to announce that Saint James School was honored by one of the charities we support – Community Partners in Action – for the many years that the school has collected gifts for their annual Toy Drive and Christmas Party for the children of their clients.  Mrs. Kanute recently attended a special breakfast to receive the award on behalf of the school.

There will be a Boys Varsity Blue vs. Gold basketball game this Saturday (12/19) at the Saint James Gym at 2:30 pm.  All parents and students are invited to come out and support your classmates and school!  We have a pep band playing and more fun surprises for all the attendees!  Hope to see you there!

Please note, there will be no robotics club held tomorrow.

There will be a Red & Green Dress Down day this Friday, December 18th, as a thank you for all the very generous toy donations that are being brought in.  Please remember dress down guidelines, per the school handbook, apply.  These include:
