Hello SJS Parents,
I hope you all are having a great week!
We will be hosting optional spring parent teacher conferences on April 11th, which is a 2:00 pm early release day. These conferences can be requested either by you or your teacher. We will send more details closer to the date, but we wanted to make sure you had a chance to mark your calendars.
Reminder that tomorrow is a $2 green dress down day supporting the Rosewood foundation (formerly the FIRE foundation).
It is a great day to be a Bulldog!

St. James Music Director, Tamaron Conseur, will conduct the chorus and chamber orchestra during this free concert. Our chorus, made up of parishioners and community members, is joined by soloists Dan Richardson (bass) and Sarah van der Ploeg (soprano). Originally premiered in 1868, this landmark work for orchestra, chorus and soloists takes its text from Scripture. It is a prayerful meditation on the truth of the resurrection of the dead.
