Reminder: This Friday – Munson’s Orders Due

All families should have received a Munson’s Order Form and a Munson’s Tally Form for the fundraiser. The Tally Form is where you will write down only the final total of each product sold, along with the final amount due.  If you do not receive the forms or have questions, please contact parent volunteer Megan Hunt at meganhunt727@gmail.com.

Tally forms and payments are due to the school office by this Friday, March 1st.  Please make checks payable to Saint James School and remember to write your child’s name & grade on ALL forms and checks.  If possible, please submit just one check per order form as this greatly helps the volunteers who tally the orders for submission.

Orders will arrive in plenty of time for Easter and an e-mail will be sent in March notifying parents of the pickup date(s).
