Saint James School is looking for a couple of parents and students who would be willing to travel to Prospect, Connecticut in January to record commercials/testimonials on behalf of Saint James School for the Archdiocese of Hartford’s radio station WJMJ (88.9 FM – Hartford). The spots will air (free of charge!) throughout the latter half of January, during Catholic School’s Week.
Volunteers are encouraged to share a specific and compelling story that expresses why SJS is special to them. It can be prepared ahead of time and simply read on-air when you get to the studio. Click HERE to listen to our testimonials from two years ago.
If you are willing to participate or have your child participate in this exciting experience, please e-mail Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net by the end of the week for additional details. Parents will need to provide transportation for their child(ren) to the studio and arrange for missed school work.
As always, we appreciate any help you can provide in spreading the good news about Saint James School!

1st Graders Perform Word Surgery
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolYesterday, first grade students enjoyed a lesson on contractions…with a fun twist. Wearing cool surgical masks and official doctor badges, students performed surgery on words such as “Can Not” and “You Will” to turn them into contractions. After removing the unnecessary parts, the patients (i.e. the contractions) were put back together using a bandage and an apostrophe. The kids had so much fun learning with this lesson!
