Staff Announcement

Saint James School will be saying goodbye to two special staff members at the end of this year:

Mrs. Grant will be leaving her position as lunch aide and extended day aide at the end of this school year as she is planning a move out of state with her family.   Mrs. Grant has been with us for 17 years total – several years as a parent volunteer when her son was in the elementary grades and then the last 12 as an employee serving in her current roles.  While she will be living out of state most of the year, Mrs. Grant has offered to come back as a substitute for the extended day program at times that she is back here in Connecticut.

Mrs. Richards will also be leaving us, having accepted a full-time position at her church.  Mrs. Richards, has been with us for 11 years – first as a parent volunteer and then as an employee working alongside Mrs. Grant in the cafeteria during lunch and also in our extended day program.  Mrs. Richards will be staying on to help with our summer camp program this June and July before starting her new role in the fall.

We wish both ladies all the best in their new adventures and thank them for their years of dedicated service to our school community!
