Merry Christmas from Saint James School!  As part of our Centennial Anniversary Celebration and thanks to the support of several local businesses – we are excited to announce that SJS is gifting all current students and staff a 100th Anniversary Commemorative T-Shirt this Holiday season.  Shirts will be coming home with students today or tomorrow.  Please make sure the shirt fits your child and that you keep it in a good place as we will be designating special days throughout the remainder of the school year for students (and staff) to wear their shirts to school.

A huge THANK YOU to the following local businesses that helped make this possible for our school through their generosity:   Shady Glen, Westown Pharmacy, the SJS Foundation, and our t-shirt vendor Artisan Ink!

 

During the month of January, Saint James School classes will participate in a Penny Challenge in honor of our “CENT”ennial anniversary!  Additional details will be forthcoming shortly, but for now we are asking families to send in to their child’s homeroom teacher any empty plastic GALLON size (only) jugs you have at home (these will be used in the classrooms for students to put pennies in).  And, please start saving those pennies as we get ready to embark on this fun school-wide challenge when we return from break!

For families that ordered SJS spiritwear and opted for the free delivery to SJS, orders will be available for you to pick-up in the SJS breezeway at dismissal tomorrow (Tuesday) from 1:40pm – 2:15pm.  Please note that our vendor has conveniently packaged all items discretely in boxes in case they are being given as a gift.  If you need to make alternate arrangements to pick-up your items, please email Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net.

Tomorrow, Friday, December 16th, Saint James School will host a “dressy” dance in our gymnasium for Saint James and Saint Bridget School 7th and 8th grade students. If your student is attending, please remember to consult the dress code requirements on the permission slip that was sent home several weeks ago with students. No exceptions will be made.

An adult will be required to sign students into the dance and then again out of the dance, promptly at 9:30pm. 

No Cell Phones are permitted at the dance.

Students should bring to the dance:

1) A signed permission slip;

2) A $5.00 admittance fee per student;

3) A non-perishable food item for MACC (optional).
