Reminder: Please Join Us! SJS Children’s Mass This Sunday

/in /by

This Sunday, November 10th at 9:00am, Saint James School will host our monthly Children’s Mass with SJS students serving as readers, ushers, and gift bearers.  Our school choir will also be performing and Coffee, Juice & Donuts will be served in the church hall (downstairs) immediately following Mass.

All Saint James School students and their parents are strongly encouraged to attend in a show of support for our school!

Saint James School students are encouraged to wear their school uniforms (all students serving in any capacity must wear their SJS uniform).  This is a great way for the Saint James Church parishioners (many of whom very generously support our school) to see the exceptional students they are investing in.

All Saint James School families are welcome regardless of faith or home church.

A morning meeting will be held Friday (11/8) at 8am in the Saint James Church hall/basement (this will be a very informal meeting so please feel free to bring along small children).

We have lots of great events coming up and look forward to sharing details with you! Please attend whichever meeting best suits your schedule.

The HSA – which is similar to a PTA or PTO – is open to all Saint James School Pre-k through 8th Grade parents/ grandparents/guardians.  There is no fee to join and no minimum time commitment required.  It’s also a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and help make great memories during our children’s years at Saint James School.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email our HSA president Jodi Talaga at jtalaga94@gmail.com.

We hope to see you there!
