2013-2014 Middle School Dances
The Middle School Dances bring together 6th, 7th, and 8th graders from four area Catholic schools – Saint James, Saint Bridget, Saint Christopher, and Assumption – for a fun evening of dancing and socializing.
Please note, a Middle School Dance Chair (or Co-Chairs) are needed in order for the 2013-2014 Middle School Dances to happen. We do not currently have anyone in that role, so Saint James’ participation in the schedule below is tentative pending parent volunteers from our school. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Kanute.
