Saint James School will have a Valentine’s-themed dress down day tomorrow – Thursday, February 11th.  Students may dress down in red, white, pink, and purple.

Please remember, students must adhere to the all Saint James School dress down guidelines (noted in the school handbook), which includes no shorts from November to April Vacation and students wearing yoga pants/leggings must have on a top that comes down to mid-thigh or longer.

Lands End is offering 40% off school uniform items from February 4th – 15th.  To apply the discount, use promo code: RECESS and pin: 3884.

As a reminder, if your child is purchasing just milk (to have with their lunch from home) there is a $0.40 charge.  It is only when students buy a full hot lunch that it is free, as per the terms of the “free lunch” grant from the state.  This was communicated when we announced the free lunch program earlier in the school year.  Extra food items are also an additional charge.

Please check your child’s lunch account balance and submit to the school any money owed.  Also, if students will be purchasing just milk going forward, please make sure you fund their account (you can send a check/cash into the school in an envelope with your child’s name on it).

This week Saint James School is joining other Catholic Schools across the nation in celebrating Catholic Schools Week (CSW).  Since one of the many faucets of Catholic education is teaching about service to the community, one of our CSW activities is a collection of items for Manchester Manor.  Donations should be brought into school by FRIDAY, February 5th.  Each classroom will have a collection box.

Requested items include but are not limited to:

*Nail polish/Nail polish remover/Cotton balls

*Large print puzzle books (word search, word find)

*Bags of balloons

*Jelly window cling decorations

*Trinkets for BINGO (unisex)

*Lotion/Body spray

*Men’s items (body wash, cologne, shampoo)

Please note that Manchester Manor will NOT accept any powders, bar soap, or razors.

Thank you for any support you are able to provide.
