JV Boys Visit CCSU

Last night, our JV boys (6th grade) basketball team was the halftime entertainment at the CCSU women’s game – playing a short scrimmage in front of a crowd of cheering CCSU fans. Our kids loved the experience – with some even winning prizes in shooting contests held between quarters.

Special thanks to our JV Coach – Eric Kincheloe – for setting up this amazing opportunity for his team and for sending us the pictures below.

Book Buddies

/in /by

On Friday during Book Buddies, first and forth graders worked together to make a poster for Catholic Schools Week. With the help of the first graders, forth graders wrote about the reason St. James School is so special. The first graders made some fabulous art work to go with the writing samples. These posters are hanging outside the first and forth grade classrooms. Book Buddies is a special time when students can interact with older students in their school community. It’s one of the many traditions that makes St. James School so special!  Special thanks to Mrs. Alexander for these cute pictures!

 

Gym Reminder

As a reminder, please do not bring helium balloons into the school gymnasium at any time (afternoon pick-up, graduation events, etc.).  If a balloon gets loose and floats to the ceiling it will randomly set off our school alarm systems until someone can retrieve it.  Thank you for your attention to this.
