SJA Fundraising

Commitment to Excellence—Keeping a high standard of excellence is a priority for SJA. The cost of educating each student exceeds tuition each year. The "gap" is filled by fundraising and special gifts. Fundraising is a top priority at Saint James Academy. Donations assist in making up the "gap" of approximately $900 per student.

Why Support the Annual Fundraisers?

Annual Fundraising benefits every child at Saint James Academy.
Each year we strive to achieve 100% parent participation. Your generosity ensures the strength of SJA's learning environment and helps to retain superior faculty.
As part of the operating budget, fundraising gifts small and large have an immediate impact.

Something For Everyone—Many opportunities are available to support SJA every day in our commitment to excellence!

ANNUAL AUCTION EVENT
Our primary fundraiser, there are many ways to support the Annual Gala. Donate an Item or service, volunteer time working on the event, attend and experience fabulous auction opportunities and one-of-a-kind children's art masterpieces. We need 100% participation to make our Gala a success!

GOLF CLASSIC and DINNER
A Monday in October to raise money and build SJA community spirit.

NOTE CARDS (STUDENT ART)
Art by our very own SJA budding artists, note cards can be purchased at various time throughout the year and are wonderful items to treasure!

SCHOLASTIC BOOK ORDERS & BOOK FAIRS
Support your child's reading efforts while building better home, classroom, and school libraries through books purchased at our school book fairs.

PIZZA FRIDAYS
A hot lunch option benefiting the Jr. High Retreat.

SCRIP/ESCRIP
This program costs nothing except some organizational skills in your shopping budget. We sell gift cards for many retailers, restaurants and grocery stores. We buy them at a discount and you purchase them as SJA for face value. We make a percentage of each card sold. For ESCRIP, be sure to register your club cards from Vons and Ralphs so SJA ca receive a percentage of your grocery purchases. Each family is asked to purchase a minimum of $100 in SCRIP this year.

SPELL-A-THON
Held in the spring, each student has a spelling list to master. They collect pledges for each word they spell correctly. This program is a great way to involve friends and grandparents in helping support SJA!

TEACHER'S WISH LIST Make a teacher's wish come true by purchasing an item off the teacher's or Principal's wish list. A great way to choose a specific gift to give and have an immediate impact on the classroom or school.

USED UNIFORMS
Turn in gently used uniforms so we can offer them at our spring and fall sales. Suggested donation of $5 each so your donations add up
