PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Hello SJS Parents,

Today is the second to last day of Trimester 1. I cannot believe how fast this school year has been moving.

In the coming days, we will be sending out a standalone email with the links to schedule you Parent-Teacher conferences. This year we will be offering two days of conferences. Monday 11/21 conferences will be offered from 9:00 am - 7:00 pm in person or via zoom (you will choose your optio when you sign up). Tuesday 11/22 conferences will be from 9:00 am -1:00 pm but the only meeting option will be via zoom call. All conferences will be 15 minutes long for in person and zoom conference.

As a reminder, tomorrow is $2 (or more) red, white and blue day to benefit Veterans. Students can wear a red, white or blue shirt with uniform bottoms.

It is a great day to be a Bulldog!

Supper Club

Thank you to those that have participated in Supper Club these past two months! We've already brought in $500 from just two nights of eating out! We are looking forward to the next one.

Thank you to the St. James community for your unwavering support of Jubilation! Our school and parish families came together and gave generously of their time, talent, and treasure – making Jubilation a success! We can’t thank everyone enough for volunteering, donating or bidding on auction items, sponsoring, and donating to our paddle raises. A special thank you to this year’s chair couples: Mike & Krista Coleman and Steve & Patti Denten. Together we succeeded in raising over $230,000 which will support school upgrades, tuition assistance, St. Vincent de Paul / PADS ministry programs, and charitable organizations.

If you won an auction item and still need to pick it up, please email Jubilation@StJamesAH.org and we can schedule a time. If you work for a company that has a matching gift program – please apply for your matching gift! It could potentially double – or even triple – your gift depending on your companies’ program! To apply for your matching gift you will need St James’ EIN number (36-6008372). Please reach out to jubilation@StJamesAH.org if you need help researching your companies’ program.
