I recorded this special video to share some exciting news about our recent and unexpected acquisition — the former Royal Electric Supply Co. building and grounds adjacent to St. James School!
Because they care about the neighborhood, the owners generously offered us first refusal and the below-market price of $3.5 million. We will honor and thank them as part of our Annual Dr. Audrey Evans Benefit.
Because they believe in our mission, an anonymous lead donor, joined by five dedicated supporters, fully funded the purchase. We are grateful for their extraordinary generosity!
This new space opens doors to many of our long-held dreams and future plans, expanding possibilities we’ve envisioned together. I’ll reveal additional exciting details during our Benefit on May 20th and in our new Strategic Plan, which will be posted to our website on May 21st.
Please watch the video to learn more!
Faithfully,
Dave Kasievich, President and Head of School
Congratulations Dave! This is a great event for St. James. I will be increasing my next donation.
Thanks David, we are very excited about our future!
This is FANTASTIC news – It is heart-warming and uplifting that the former owners of the building were so moved to collaborate with the neighborhood in such a generous way. It should be on America Strong, the segment at the end of David Muir’s nightly news – a real feel-good story!
I’ve been a scholarship donor for several years and am very glad to see that others show their belief in the St. James School model at those higher levels that they can afford. Thanks to the anonymous donors who fully funded the purchase. I know there are more expenses to come and I look forward to contributing in my own small way.
Thank you so much for the comment! We appreciate all our supporters and every little bit helps, from volunteer time to donations! Thank you!
