Last call to get tickets in our Saint James School section for the UConn basketball games on 1/28 (Men vs. Xavier) and 2/4 (Women vs. St. John). There are only 11 tickets left for the men’s game and 23 for the women. Remaining tickets will be opened to the public for purchase after this weekend. We hope to see you there!!
As a reminder, if you placed an order with our Grandma’s Gourmet Country Pies fundraiser, pick-up will take place outside the main school breezeway TOMORROW – Wednesday, December 13th – from 1:30pm – 2:30pm. These are frozen pies so it’s important that you stop over and grab yours as we don’t have freezer space to store them overnight.
For families with students going to aftercare tomorrow, pies will be left in the cafeteria for you to take home.
If you have any questions please email SJS parent volunteer coordinator, Kelly Nazario, at kellyanazario@gmail.com.
Thank you again for supporting Saint James School!
As a reminder, there is no aftercare available this Friday, December 15th – which is a 12:05pm dismissal day. The office will also be closing at 12:05pm as faculty and staff will be heading offsite for our annual Christmas party. Please be sure you have arrangements to pick up your child on time. Thank you!
