All  parents  of  St. James  EDS  are automatically members of the Parents Guild.  No dues to pay, just time and talent to give. Get involved with Parents Guild today!  Support the school, meet and work with other St. James parents and faculty, and have fun!  Committees are described below:

BOOK FAIR

A week long book fair held in the fall with books available for every age range and interest focusing on fostering a love of reading. All proceeds earned go directly to the St. James library.

CARE TEAM

This is a NEW committee established to provide comfort and/or a helping hand to St. James families.  Every parent can help this committee by letting us know of a family in need such as a student with a broken bone or other serious injury/illness, student in the hospital, surgery of a parent, or death of a grandparent.  The Care Team’s volunteers help these families by providing a card or a meal in time of need.

A night of family fun in the fall that includes games, food, music and lots of excitement for the whole St. James community. This is our largest fundraiser where everyone can be involved.  Visit our carnival website "HERE".
