Each year, Saint James School asks parents to clip “Box Tops for Education” and send them into the school. Each Box Top you clip earns 10₡ for Saint James. Last year our school earned over $1,360 from Box Tops alone! This year, our goal is to raise $1,500.
Each month, the class that brings in the most box tops will win a free dress down day (date determined by the teacher).
To count for the September Box Tops dress down contest, Box Tops need to be submitted to your child’s teacher by next Tuesday morning (9/30). Counting will take place after the 30th, and the winning class will be announced the first week in October.
To learn more about Box Tops, visit the Box Tops For Education Website or contact Saint James School parent volunteer coordinator Heather Meyer at grizmeyer@cox.net. By creating a free account on the Box Tops For Education website, you will also be able to enter contests and give-a-ways for additional, free Box Tops for our school.
As always, we appreciate your support of Saint James School!

Attention parents using the After-Care program: Mrs. Kanute would like to remind you that if you are picking your child up at 2:00pm on select days, they must go in the walkers line (and be picked up at the Church) and NOT come down to After-Care on those days. Effective Monday, Mrs. Kanute has asked that after-care not buzz parents in through the breezeway door until after 2:30pm. If you are picking up between 2:15pm and 2:30pm, you must go through the main doors and stop in the main office first. Thank you.
