Save the Date: SJS Foundation Golf Event
The 28th Annual Saint James School Foundation Golf Classic & Dinner which will be held on Wednesday, September 7th at Manchester Country Club.
The Saint James School Foundation is a privately run endowment fund providing over $100,000 each year to Saint James School in support of our financial aid program, ongoing technology upgrades, and our school’s Margin of Excellence programs. Last year, the foundation donated over $150,000 to Saint James School! Each year, the Foundation holds a golf tournament and dinner in support of their mission.
This annual event is a lot of fun with a great mixture of current SJS parents, former SJS parents, SJS alumni, and school/parish staff.
