Christmas Store Thank You
A huge thank you to all our Saint James School volunteers who chaired and helped out with the 2014 Christmas Store. The event was a huge success and the kids had a great time shopping for their loved ones. A special thank you to those who spent time shopping for items and to those who donated items to the store.
Reminder: Christmas Store Tomorrow
Just a reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday) is the Saint James School Christmas Store. Children will be able to purchase low cost gifts for parents, siblings, pets, or others on their Christmas list. If your child will be making purchases, please send them to school tomorrow with money. Items available for purchase will include Christmas ornaments and decorations, calendars, books, candles, small toys and much more!
Many thanks to our parent volunteers who have been shopping and getting everything ready for this fun, Saint James School tradition.

Congratulations to Mrs. Wojtyna’s 5th grade class for winning the November dress down day. Her class collected 954 Box tops.
Because December is a short month, we will not be collecting Box Tops until the end of January. Therefore, we will award Mrs. Phelan our December dress down as her class collected 911 box tops.
Thank you to all our parents for supporting our school through the Box Tops program!
