Help Support Our School

There are many ways to offer your support and encouragement to St James the Apostle School. Every year, school parents, teachers and parishioners volunteer their valuable time and knowledge to make St James the best possible educational experience for our students. Here are a few ways you can support St James the Apostle School:

Get involved! Join a school committee, board or organization, such as School Board or the Parent Teacher Organization.
Purchase Crusader Cash-Turn your everyday shopping into fundraising for our school!
Collect General Mills “Box Tops” . Remove these from the products you use on a regular basis and send them to school with your child or drop them into the container in the coat room of the church.
Support our Athletic Teams-attend St James athletic events or volunteer to coach a team.
Volunteer to chaperone students for our annual Day of Service.
Donate items to the annual fundraiser. Have gift cards? What about tickets to a sporting event? Donate them to the silent auction!
Assist with our Religious Education and Sacramental Programs at St James.
Chaperone students during one of our many education Field Trips
Volunteer to help with our many After-School Programs and Extra-Curricular Learning Opportunities.
Make a donation to St James or to the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF), which helps over 1400 students in the Diocese of Joliet each year.

All individuals who volunteer in our school must complete 3 requirements mandated by the Diocese of Joliet. These include attending a Protecting God’s Children Workshop, passing a name-based criminal background check and signing an acknowledgement form that materials on the Diocesan website have been read.
