Some great examples of our virtue of the month – Gratitude – from Mrs. LaMarche’s 2nd grade class.

Air National Guard Flyover

Today the CT Air National Guard will be doing a flyover in certain areas in honor of the men and women of the medical community that are working to keep Connecticut healthy (many of whom are parents in our school community).  They will be flying over Manchester about 12:23pm and Vernon about 12:24pm if your family is available to go outside to watch.

Mental Health Awareness

Mental Health America recently released a new resource rich Mental Health Toolkit for Mental Health Month. One item in particular we would like to highlight is a great infographic on COVID and Mental Health that can be printed out in color or shared with anyone in your family that you may want to share it with.  Please remember you can also reach out to our Social Worker, Cate Jennings with any concerns about your child/family: cjennings@saintjamesschool.net.

 

Hat Spirit Day

Thank you to everyone who sent in a picture for our Hat spirit day!

6th Grade Graphic Design Images

Our 6th graders have spent some of their at-home STREAM time learning to use an online graphic design platform called Canva.  Each student was tasked to showcase an inspirational Bible passage or favorite quotation as a “desktop wallpaper.”  We would like to share a movie of their creations with you.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI0B-iJ6Fb4

If you would like to download any of the images to use as the wallpaper on your own desktop, you can access the individual image files here:  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pM7iLnvOPT1YJLOFpu3qxekV1usamnhY?usp=sharing

SJS Spirit Day Tomorrow

Tomorrow we will continue with our Mid-Week Distance Learning Spirit Day, with tomorrow’s theme being Hat Day.  Maybe it’s a baseball cap with your child’s favorite team, a fancy hat, a winter hat, a pair of mickey ears in honor of your last trip to Disney, or a “Cat In The Hat” hat like the picture below.  We would love to see pictures of our students sporting their favorite hat while doing their assignments.  Please send pictures to aguenther@saintjamesschool.net by 1:00pm on Wednesday, May 13th.

Gratitude

As a reminder, our virtue of the month this month is Gratitude.  Here are two writings about gratitude from students in Mrs. Gangloff’s Kindergarten class.
