Parade Saturday

Due to the anticipated bad weather for Saturday morning and a low number of RSVP forms received, Saint James School will not be marching in the St. Patrick’s Day parade this weekend.  We wish to extend a huge thank you to all those who did sign up to represent our school.

We will try again next year and hope that a better forecast and more advance notice will help to bring out more families.

HSA Meeting Tonight

The HSA will hold it’s monthly meeting this evening at 7pm in the school library.  All parents/guardians/grandparents of SJS students are welcome to attend.  When you arrive at the school for the meeting, please ring the buzzer to the left of the breezeway door and meet us in the school library.

This month we will be recapping our recent events and fundraisers and planning for the upcoming Easter event and Movie Night.  Please join us if you can!  If you are unable to attend, keep an eye out for the monthly HSA newsletter to stay up-to-date, and always feel free to email us with questions and suggestions at HSA@SaintJamesSchool.net.

Reminder: Saint James Church Bible Discussion Group

Save the Date:  Wednesday May 3rd @ 7:00PM Bible Timeline Discussion

The Bible is much more than a book. It is where God meets us, reveals himself to us, and shares his loving plan for our lives. You have a personal obligation to know and understand our faith as it is handed down to use through Scared Scriptures and Scared Traditions. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible helps uncover the story woven throughout Scripture so you can get the “big picture” of the Bible.

If you want to discover the riches of Scripture, I invite you to join us in Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible by following the 90-Day Timeline Reading Plan (Click to Open) and then join us on Wednesday May 3rd @ 7:00 in the St James Church Hall to discuss and have your questions answered. The Bible Timeline Reading Plan will help you begin to read and understand the Bible.  All Saint James School families are welcome.
