The St. James Episcopal School Development Office coordinates all fundraising activities at the school.  St. James makes every attempt to carefully control the timing of its fundraising events within the general school calendar.  At the same time, the school is extremely wary of over solicitation of the members of our school community.  Therefore, the school limits its planned fundraising to the following events:

Sally Foster Wrapping Paper Sales:  As the school year begins students sell high quality holiday wrapping paper and products.  The school receives fifty cents of each dollar sold.

The Annual Fund Campaign:     Each fall the school approaches the parent body and friends of our school for tax-deductible donations.  In recent years, over 80% of the parent body has participated in this fund allowing the school to completely meet its budget needs, enrich the curriculum and provide high quality technological improvements at the school. 

Spring Gala Auction:  Each spring, generally in March or early April the school holds a gala event for parents, faculty and staff, and friends of St. James Episcopal School.  This event includes food, live music, wonderful silent and live auctions and a great evening of fun.
