HSA Gives: St. Baldrick’s
From the Saint James School HSA Gives Committee: A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in the $1 dress down day a few weeks back! With your help, we were able to donate over $450 to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation!!
We would love for you all to join us in what always is a fun and uplifting day!
Want to shave your head? Volunteer your time? Volunteer your son’s head to be shaved?? Whatever you’d like to do, please log onto the SJS team page and register! Sign up ASAP because once you raise $50 under your name, you’ll receive a St Baldrick’s T-shirt to thank you for your generosity! (You don’t have to shave your head to volunteer OR raise money!) The link to the team page is www.stbaldricks.org/teams/SJS.
In addition to the head shaving enjoyment, we will have a live band, snacks a tea cup raffle and more! (And yes! We are still looking for donations for raffle items, or pre-packaged food items!)
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions to either Phil Miller at pnmnmiller@yahoo.com or Kerry Caldwell at kmcaldwell@gmail.com

2019 Annual Fund Kick-Off
This week you should have received a letter from Mrs. Zorger (along with the Spring SJS Community Newsletter) kicking off our 2019 Annual Fund Campaign.
Donations to our Annual Fund Campaign are instrumental in supporting the ongoing capital improvement projects at the school (these projects are not covered by tuition funds or supported by the SJS Foundation). Annual Fund dollars, along with several generous bequests and grants, have helped us afford the new, energy-efficient windows and roofs that have been installed at the school during the past past several years as well as the new roofs on the entire “big” school building.
This year, donations will help defray the cost of replacing the 50+-year-old roof on the Pre-Kindergarten building. This is the final roof on our school campus that needs to be replaced.
For additional details or to donate online, please visit saintjamesschool.net/annualfund
We gratefully thank you for your consideration of supporting this important initiative.
