Junior Ambassador for the Day

Prospective families had a special treat during their recent visit to Saint James School. Second grader Evelyn Dum assisted the admissions office by serving as “junior ambassador” for the day. She assisted the STJ Ambassadors, the junior and senior hosts and hostesses of the school, during our Welcome Wednesday admissions event. Evelyn was a big part in making our preschool and Kindergarten guests feel welcome. She also assisted with the group craft for the children and helped the Ambassadors during the event. Evelyn also spent some time in the office learning a bit about what goes on behind the scenes in admissions. Then, she helped Mrs. Kate Bartlett, Associate Director of Marketing and Engagement, design a social media post for the school’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. Our junior ambassador then enjoyed lunch with the admissions staff and STJ Student Ambassadors. The STJ Student Ambassadors are high school junior and seniors leaders who represent Saint James School at various admissions and official school events. These students were selected after a highly competitive application and interview process- we can’t wait for Evelyn to apply when she becomes an upperclassman!

“Junior Ambassador for the Day” is a special experience available for auction during our annual school fundraiser, Sunrise to Sunset. Saint James families and friends of the school have the opportunity to bid on hundreds of items, including jewelry, antiques, tickets to sporting events, and special school-specific experiences like this. Sunrise to Sunset benefits our school Annual Fund, which helps meet current operating expenses, enhance programs and services, and campus maintenance. These unrestricted gifts make a difference in the school experience. Thank you to Evelyn and her family for supporting Saint James and participating in the fun that makes our school special. #WeAreSaintJamesSchool
