St. James R-1 School District

Did you know that each year there are 1.7 million homeless teens under the age of 18?  Or that the #1 requested item at a shelter is a pair of jeans?  Well, those are both true, and we have the opportunity to do something about it!  We, as a school district are setting a goal for our community to gather and donate 2,500 pairs of jeans before February 10^th!  There is a competition going right now between several schools, and I know St. James can win if we all come together and donate!  These do not have to be new jeans, they just need to be wearable.  Clean out your closets, visit Goodwill and purchase a pair, and then drop them by any St. James School Building Office (Elementary, Middle, High, or Administration Building).  The school that collects the most jeans will receive a $10,000 grant , aeropostale hoodies with the St. James Schools name on it for all High School Students, and a party for all students.   Let’s come together as a community to help others in need by donating blue jeans!  Thanks in advance for all that you donate!  If you have any questions please feel free to contact my office at 265-2300.
