Dear St. James Parents:

 

As the year draws to a close, it is appropriate to examine what we have accomplished over the past year and what lies ahead.  At St. James School, our students bring their abilities and drive.  SJS provides our children with the knowledge, skills, environment and, where necessary, a push to help them reach their potential.  SJS’ culture assures that all students encounter several persons who will nurture them and prod them toward their goals, and our graduates leave prepared to make a difference in our fast-changing world.

 

Generosity fuels the continued achievement of our school.  Our contributors ensure SJS accomplishes its mission to educate our children for lifelong learning and success in a constantly evolving and multicultural world.  Alumni appreciate the role St. James played in their own lives.

 

At SJS, our goals are far reaching.  However, we cannot continue to meet these goals without your continued support.  As many of you prepare to make year-end charitable donations, I ask that you consider St. James School in your year-end giving plans.  Every donation makes a difference—no matter how large or small.

Several gift options are available including:  tax deductible donations of cash and/or long-term appreciated marketable securities.   For your information, the St. James Home School Association’s tax-exempt ID number is 970-365-357/500. 

As President of the Home School Association, I see how our volunteers, programs, and support positively impact our children.  When I step back and think about our school community -- our dedicated teachers and staff, our families, and our children, I feel particularly blessed and honored to be part of this organization.  I hope that you will continue in your support of SJS.

 

Thank you for your consideration, and I wish you a blessed Christmas and a joy-filled New Year.

 

Sincerely yours,
