Parent and player volunteers are needed for this Saturday, February 2nd as we will be hosting basketball games at our school for a good portion of the day. We really need parents to help man the doors during the day so please be a “team player” and grab a spot. The following link will take you to the signup sheet:

If you ordered SJS Spiritwear earlier in the month, the items are in at the SJS main office. Please stop in after pick-up today and grab yours or, email Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net if you would like it sent home with your student tomorrow.
As a reminder, please do not bring helium balloons into the school gymnasium at any time (afternoon pick-up, graduation events, etc.). If a balloon gets loose and floats to the ceiling it will randomly set off our school alarm systems until someone can retrieve it. Thank you for your attention to this.
