We are pleased to announce that Mr. Glen Nicholes has volunteered to lead the Saint James School Drama Club this year. Drama club will meet on Thursdays after school beginning March 1st and will meet for 12 sessions.
This year’s drama club will have a different format from previous years. There will be not be a drama production. Instead, Mr. Nicholes will introduce students to the many aspects of drama. Students will explore drama skills and learn about the details involving a drama performance. To culminate the experience, students will perform their own original skits.
SPACE IS LIMITED. Students in grades 5-7 who are serious about sharpening their drama skills and intensifying their knowledge about drama production must submit a 2-3 paragraph essay detailing their reasons for wanting to be a member of the drama club, what they have to offer, and what they hope to take away from their experience.
The essay should be typed, or neatly hand written, 2-3 paragraphs, and include your name and grade. All essays must be submitted to the SJS Main Office no later than the start of school, February 13th. All students will be notified by February 16th as to whether or not they have been selected for the drama club.

If you are interested in participating in the parade and/or helping us design and build a float, please e-mail Jana Tierney at jktierney@gmail.com.
Similarly, the Manchester St. Patrick’s Committee dinner dance is right around the corner. This event helps raise funds for Manchester’s participation in the parade. And, this year’s honorees – Cheri Pelletier Eckbreth and Jay Moran – both have a connection to our school! The cost is $25 per person and includes a corn beef and cabbage dinner. If you would like to attend, please reach out to SJS parents Mary Ann Creamer (ma1283@att.com) or Jana Tierney (jktierney@gmail.com).
