Scholastic Book Fair All This Week
This week is the Scholastic book fair at Saint James School. All classes will be going down to the gym to visit the book fair during school time and will have an opportunity to make a “wish list” of books they would like. Parents then have the option of sending in money for their child(ren) to purchase items on their wish list. The book fair will also be open beginning at 6:00pm during “meet the teachers” nights on Wednesday and Thursday.
