Attention Grade 12 graduating students!  If you are a female student who will be graduating in 2016 and due to financial reasons, are unable to afford the cost of a graduation gown, then the Gowns for Grads Program is for you!  This program allows Grads to borrow donated graduation gowns, shoes, purses, wraps and jewellery- for free!   Interested students must fill out a confidential application form, available at the office, to participate.  Application forms must be completed and handed in to the office by the deadline of Monday, March 21st.   Please see Mrs. Brophy if you have any questions.

It's almost Spring Break and another amazing year at St. James is flying by. You've met some great people and seen and done some great things here, so make sure you've got a permanent reminder of the year by purchasing a copy of the yearbook! The yearbook is full of photos and memories. It's a book most people keep for the rest of their lives. Make sure you get your copy before they're gone by bringing $35 to the office or you can order online with a credit card before April 29. The link to the online store is on the school blog or on posters around the school. You can also visit bit.ly/sjcyearbook to order.

Reminder to students in the online/outside school Phys Ed program that your activity hours completed before Spring Break need to be in before school resumes in April! After Spring break, hours completed before spring break may not be added to your spreadsheet so they won't count unless they're in now. See Mr. Robson in room 213 if you're having trouble.

Today on Jimmie Jam Radio, join DJ Axtar for some fun and great music at lunch hour in the cafeteria or on our website, jimmiejamradio.rocks
