Volunteers play a critical role here at Saint James School. Volunteers run many of our fundraising events, social events, and classroom parties. In addition, our sports coaches are all volunteers, many of our after-school activities are run by volunteers, our Saint James School board (and related committees) are all volunteers, along with the Saint James School Foundation members.
Volunteers provide countless hours tutoring students and helping with marketing-related duties. In short, volunteers play a very important role here at Saint James School!!
As such, one of our important activities during Catholic Schools Week is to show our appreciation to our volunteers for their “Service” to Saint James School. This will be done with a special prayer for volunteers during our 9:15am Mass on Wednesday, January 30th, followed by a special reception in the lower church immediately following Mass.
Please join us so that all the students of Saint James School can see the faces of the dedicated parents and family members who donate their time and talents to helping making Saint James School such a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow.
The below form was sent home with students last week. If you will be attending the Mass and Reception, please return the form to the office by January 24th.
We will be celebrating Catholic Schools Week at the end of January. One thing we like to do at Saint James is to help give back to the community and those who are less fortunate than us.
