SJS Spiritwear

Most of the SJS Spiritwear fundraiser items are in and are being sent home with students today.  Parents who asked for their items to be held at the office should have received an e-mail letting them know to pick it up today or Monday.  Unfortunately, a few items were on backorder.  We are hoping some of them will be here Monday or Tuesday.  The backorder items are Youth Navy Hooded Sweatshirts in Small, Large, and X-Large and all sizes of Adult Navy Hooded Sweatshirts.

If you have any questions about your order, please e-mail Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net.

Thank you again for supporting Saint James School!
