As part of the celebration of Black History Month, Ms. Tangular Irby, Aunt to Camryn, grade 8, and a published author who has been a guest speaker virtually in the past, will be joining us LIVE this year on February 8th.  Ms. Irby  has offered our families a special deal -- see details below:

• Website: https://geesbendmade.com/shop/
• Discount code for 40% of products: SJS23
• Discount code to remove shipping fee: FREE
• Books will be delivered to the SJS. I will bring them.

Once families submit their orders, I will email them a google form and ask for the child's name and room number to assemble the orders.  I will just need your help to distribute them upon delivery. 

We have a team of parents organizing various activities to recognize Black History.  More details on these events will follow.  Visit our Events page to keep up to date as https://www.stjamesstratford.org/events-news
