SJES April Newsletter
2024
A Note from the Head of School
The month of April has arrived! Time sure is flying by and as each day passes, I find myself waking up thanking God for his new mercies. A fresh start with new opportunities to try again and to make a difference. Lamentations 3:22-23 says, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
By resting in the realization that God's mercies for us come each and every day, just as Jeremiah did after the great fall of Jerusalem, we can allow our tone to change from frustration and despair to confidence and hope becuase when we find ourselves falling short, the Lord's great love will always prevail.
"Yet this I call to mine and therefore I have hope. Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
-Lamentations 3:22-25
"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." -1 John 1:8
With so much love,
Taylor Jones

⭐SJES PA is hosting a Bingo! night⭐
We are so excited to kick off our 1st Annual SJES PA Bingo night!!!! The profit from each ticket or table sold directly supports the Parents Association and all they do for us here at SJES. The PA funds annual traditions at SJES such as Santa’s Workshop, Snow Day, Western Day, and Teacher Appreciation Week, but also provides support for varying classroom needs and school wish lists. The SJES Parents Association is an integral part of our school and continues to help it thrive in providing a foundation for our kids while maintaining a strong partnership with our community.
- Bingo ticket sales start now and end Friday, April 19th. All order forms and money need to be turned in to the front office by April 19th
- Please make checks or money orders payable to St. James PA. We will also accept Procare billing and cash as payment options.
- Each ticket includes dinner from Kuntry Katfish Catering, 1 drink voucher, and a Bingo card for all five games.
- Additional bingo tickets that will include 1 drink ticket (alcohol or soda) will be $10.
There will be 5 rounds of bingo and each round will win one of our great prizes! The final round of the night has a top prize of a one night’s stay at Margaritaville.
We will have a variety of silent auction items to bid on throughout the night. Winners will be announced after the final round of bingo. A preview of some of the silent auction items are:
- 4-Texas A&M Football tickets. Seats located in the Letterman’s Section.
