Hello SJS Parents,
I hope you all have been having a great week!
Tomorrow we will be practicing a fire drill with the Arlington Heights Fire Department. the Alarm will be pulled and we will be reminding the kids in the morning that this is just a drill.
This weekend is a four day weekend for our families as we do not have school on Monday for Columbus Day and Tuesday is a professional development day for our staff.
Enjoy the long weekend!

Volunteer Opportunity
The school is looking for FIVE volunteers to help the younger grades navigate the hot lunch line during lunch periods. The hours are 12:15p - 1:15p and we would need volunteers who could commit to a minimum of one day/week. (One person would volunteer every Monday, another on Tuesdays etc.)
This would be a huge help to ensure that the little ones can get through the lunch line and have enough time to eat. Please contact FSA if you are interested in helping out: sjsfsa@stjamesschoolah.org.
