St. James School Foundation Golf Tournament

Dear Friends of St James School,

The Saint James School Foundation Golf Committee is excited to share the details for our 27th St. James School Foundation Golf Event.  The Tournament will be held on Wednesday, September 1st, 2021 at the Manchester Country Club with an 11:30 am registration/lunch, then Shotgun start at 12:30 pm. The Dinner and Live Auction program will be held outside like last year under the beautiful new Seasonal Tent adjacent to the Clubhouse. We are bouncing back from a challenging last year with some fun new wrinkles being planned like a Live Music Happy Hour to make this our best event yet!

For this year’s event you can register your Foursome/Sponsorship online at https://saint-james-school-foundation.square.site/ or by regular US Mail.  This golf tourney is sure to sell out so don’t wait to put together your group, or if you are a Single player or a Twosome, we will pair you up with other friends of SJS.

Have a wonderful, safe summer and we can’t wait to be all together to celebrate and support St. James School!!

All the best,

Bill Creamer
SJSF President

Monday: 2021 Field Day (Gr. K-7)

Saint James School will host field day on Monday, June 14th (a 12:05pm dismissal day).  On that day, students should come to school in their SJS gym shorts, gym sneakers, and designated-colored T-shirt:

Kindergarten:  Red

Fifth Grade:  Orange

This year, Saint James School 7th grade students will be helping to run the activities for the younger grades (and teachers will be at each station with their class) so we are not in need of parent volunteers this year.

End of School Year Medication Pick-Up Reminder

A reminder that parents/guardians will need to call the school to arrange pick up of student medications from the nurse prior to the last day of school.

Students cannot bring medicines home themselves. If your child has medication at school, please reach out to the Saint James School nurse, Mrs. Vignati, at (860) 643-5088 (x3) to schedule a pick-up time.

Also, please remember that medication authorization forms need to be renewed annually for each school year. It is the parent’s responsibility to bring medication and a completed and signed medication authorization form to the nurse when we return to school in September. The most recent medication authorization form can be found on the school website under the Forms/Docs section of our website.
