Virtue of the Month

/in /by

This year Saint James School will be acknowledging our students who show great character through our “Virtue of the Month” program. Each month, a new virtue will be focused upon and explored during religion class. During the month of October, our students have been learning about the virtue of Gratitude. Students have written about what gratitude means to them, explored things they are thankful for, and have learned about ways they can show their gratitude both in and out of school.

Below is a picture of the students (who were at present for Rosary on Wednesday morning) who received the Gratitude award. Way to go SABERS!  The Virtue of the Month for November is Peace.

Uniform Closet

/in /by

Please be respectful of the Pre-K program and their schedule when visiting the uniform closet in the Pre-K building (former Convent).

You may easily visit the uniform closet before or after school hours or by requesting a special time to visit during the school day. If you decide to visit the uniform closet on the spur of the moment, please check in with Mrs. Sager at the front office and she will call Pre-K teachers to see if this is an appropriate time.

Thank you for your kind consideration of our littlest students and their teachers!
