Hat’s Off To Reading Contest

In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, Mrs. Carpenter is kicking off another fun reading contest for the Kindergarten through 6th grade classes.  Reading logs will be passed out in library this week & details on the contest will be discussed.  The grade with the most books read during the contest will win a dress down day & no homework night!  Extra reading logs are available in the library, from the classroom teachers, or can be printed HERE.  If you have any questions on the contest, please e-mail Mrs. Carpenter at lcarpenter@saintjamesschool.net.  The contest runs through April 3rd. Good luck everyone!

Last Call: Charity Pictures

Please remember to send in pictures of you and your children participating in acts of charity (send them to info@saintjamesschool.net).  We will be putting together a fun compilation to share with the Saint James Community.

2019 SJS Soccer Sign-Up

It’s time to sign up for the 2019 Saint James Soccer season!  Boys and girls in grades 3 through 8 are eligible to play.  The season runs from early April through mid June.  If your child is planning to participate, please click on the link below to read the detailed information from Coach Sargent.  The sign-up form should be returned to the school office with the appropriate activity fee (make checks out to “Saint James School”) by March 20th.  If your child has not previously participated in a sport at SJS this year, you will need to also submit the Athletics Health Form for 2018-2019 signed by your child’s doctor (see below).
