For Tomorrow: Middle School Collection Reminder

As part of Catholic Schools Week, Middle School students are collecting items for “Birthday Bags” which will be donated to local food pantries. Please send in the items listed below tomorrow Tuesday, January 28, if you have not already done so:

Grade 8: Cake mix and a package of balloons
Grade 7: Frosting and a generic birthday card
Grade 6: Candles and streamers

Thank you for supporting this worthwhile cause.

Thank you to all our volunteers!

Today, as part of Catholic Schools’ Week, our Kindergarten through grade 8 students attended Mass at Saint James Church to celebrate and honor the countless volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to our school.

While only a small percentage of volunteers were able to be with us in person today, Father Cavanaugh and Mrs. Zorger both took the opportunity to remind students about the value of giving back to the community.   We are very blessed at Saint James School to have so many volunteers that make a difference in the lives of our students and to our school community as a whole.
