What is
Family Association?
The SJMS Family Association consists of all SJMS families, teachers,
and staff. By being part of the SJMS community, you are
a member of the Family Association. As a group, we
initiate and organize social, enrichment, and
fundraising projects. We organize such events as
Grandparents and Special Guests' Day, Winter Festival,
Book Fairs, and much more. Our events strive to benefit
and enhance our school community.
MONTHLY MEETINGS
We invite all SJMS parents, teachers, and staff to attend our
monthly meetings.
Meetings are held at school the last Monday of every month at
5:30pm.
Babysitting is available on request.
