The Saint James School Christmas store will be open in the gym during the school day on Wednesday and Thursday, December 11^th and 12^th.  All classes will have an opportunity to go to the store on Wednesday.  Please note that this is a shopping day – there is NO “preview” day.  Children who wish to make a few limited additional purchases will be able to go back to the store on Thursday.

The store will be open on Wednesday after school until 3:00 PM.  It will be closed by mid-morning on Thursday.

Children will be able to purchase low cost gifts for those on their Christmas lists.  Quantities and selection are very limited this year as we are only selling leftover merchandise from the prior year.  Items available are on a first come, first serve basis.

Mark your calendars and start those Christmas lists!

 

IMPORTANT:  We are still in need of volunteers for the Christmas store.  Please contact Jane Corl (janecorl@sbcglobal.net) if you can help out.

The Saint James School Annual Gala Auction & Fundraiser is our largest fundraising event of the year.  We will hold our first planning committee meeting on Tuesday, November 26th at 6:30pm in the Pre-Kindergarten.

Thank you to everyone who donated money for the middle school Tickets for Turkeys fundraiser at last Friday’s Middle School Dance.  Students raised $500 for the purchase of turkeys for Foodshare.   Attached is a picture of three of our 8th grade students along with Mr. Frankovitch, Mr. Devanney, & Mr. Giard from Highland Park Market.
