We’re cutting the ribbon on our BRAND NEW playground! 🎉

Join us this Thursday from 5–6 PM as we officially celebrate this exciting addition to St. James! We’d love to have our current families, alumni, and community there to celebrate with us.

We’ll also be kicking off our Handprint Fundraiser! Purchase a handprint for our mangrove mural and leave your mark on a place that has been part of the Florida Keys community for generations. Proceeds will go toward continued improvements at St. James.

Can’t attend? Handprints can be purchased and added all year long!

Come celebrate our new playground, support St. James, and help our family tree keep growing!

🌱 Leave Your Handprint at St. James!

As part of our Ribbon Cutting Celebration this Thursday, we’re inviting our current students, former students, and St. James alumni to add a handprint leaf to our new wall mural!

Purchase a handprint and leave a lasting piece of your St. James story on our tree. ❤️ Each handprint will represent the many children who have learned, played, and grown with us over the years.

Can’t make it Thursday? No worries! We’ll continue adding handprints throughout the school year so our St. James family tree can keep growing. 🌿

🎉 Come celebrate with us 🎉

Thanks to the incredible support of our families and community during our Read-A-Thon, we were able to expand our playground and create even more space for our children to play and grow!

We invite our St. James families, alumni, former students, friends, and community to stop by, see the new space, and celebrate what we accomplished together.

We hope to see you there ❤️
