Stop by Marathon Sports in Glastonbury on March 15th & 16th (Friday and Saturday of this week) for all your running and healthy-lifestyle needs and 10% of your purchases will be donated back to SJS when you mention our school.  Marathon Sports is a great destination for your exercise and wellness needs as well as honest advice to help families successfully pursue their goals for a healthy and fun lifestyle.

Middle School Dance Rescheduled

/in /by

We are excited to share that our Girls Varsity Basketball team has advanced in the Archdiocesan State Tournament! Their next game is scheduled for this Friday, March 15, at 7:15 at East Catholic High School. In addition, the St. Bridget Boys JV basketball team has advanced in the state tournament. Their next game is also this Friday, March 15 at 6:00 at East Catholic High School.

Since this conflicts with the dance scheduled for Friday for many of our basketball players (and friends who would like to attend the games to support them) we have decided to reschedule the middle school dance to Friday, April 19th. Please mark your calendars!

New Covid Illness Policy

The CDC has released updated guidance related to Covid illnesses.  Effective immediately our school’s Covid policy (as well as the policy for MPS) is as follows:

Students and staff are required to remain at home until they have been fever-free without medication for at least 24 hours and symptoms are improving. 

There is no longer a mandatory 5 day requirement to remain at home and mask wearing upon return to school is optional.  If you have any questions please reach out to our school nurse, Mrs. Pennington.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to SJS 7th grader Zia Vavanan on winning 1st place the CHET Dream Big competition for Grades 5 – 8 that we sent out many months ago.  This was a state-wide essay contest on the topic of What is something you could do to help make the lives of others better?   As the winner, Zia will have $20,000 deposited in her CHET account for college!  Way to go Zia!
