No School Tomorrow (Thursday) + Office Closed

This Friday: $1.00+ Casual for a Cause
This Friday, Saint James School will have our 1st Casual for a Cause day of the new school year in support of Toys for Tots in conjunction with Megan’s Place.
Toys for Tots helps collect and distribute new toys to children in need during the Christmas season, but the teen population is often overlooked in these collections. With that in mind, Megan’s Place is fundraising to specifically support Christmas options for teens.
To participate, students must bring their donation of $1.00 or more to school on Friday and give it to their homeroom teacher. Attire must follow the guidelines outlined on page 11 of the 2026-2027 Parent Student Handbook. Please direct any questions to your child’s homeroom teacher.
