St. James Preschool continues to thrive because of the generous and dedicated fundraising at the school. With funds raised in 2009, a complete refurbishment was done inside the school and out. With funds raised in 2010, a new playground will be constructed. The community finds creative ways to raise money relying on time, resources and talents to make sure that everyone can help contribute in their own way. There are plenty of ways to give and get involved.
Annual Spring Gala
Our major fundraiser for the year comprises live, silent, and online auctions. Volunteers help find donations, but can also give of their time and skills to help raise money.
