SJA SPELL-A-THON 2016 WHO’S ready to have some F-U-N?



This event is a unique way to raise funds for the school while promoting academic excellence.



Monies raised will go to the general fund to help support activities and programs which benefit our students. (We have raised up to $10,000 for the school in past years!)



Students will be given challenging, grade appropriate words that are a part of their curriculum and will be included as a part of their grade.



FAMILY and FRIENDS can sponsor our students by pledging funds for each word spelled correctly, OR by simply making a flat donation in support of a student's participation.

This is a great time of year to get maximum pledges! Think Holiday Parties, Family Gatherings, and Get Togethers! 

As an extra challenge, each student can set a goal and ask for a double-pledge if that goal is met.

Please help us reach our goal of 100% participation this year! 

Pledge sheets are due back to school by TEST DAY on Wednesday January 20th.

My Goal: __________ words spelled correctly. Dear Friends and Family: Please sponsor me in Saint James Academy's SPELL-ATHON. I am taking a spelling test on Jan. 20, 2016. You may pledge an amount per word spelled correctly or make a flat donation. Will you consider doubling your pledge if I meet my goal? I will let you know how many words I spelled correctly, but I hope to get 100% right as all of the money pledged supports my school! Your support is greatly appreciated and pledges can be made in the form of cash or checks made payable to Saint James Academy. Thank you!
