8th Grade Show

On Wednesday, the SJS Pre-Kindergarten through 7th grade classes watched the 8th grade students perform in the annual 8th Grade Show.  A video of the daytime performance can be found HERE.

In addition, in keeping with tradition at Saint James School, the graduating class is leaving behind a gift to the school – a Saber “spirit” costume – which can be used in the future at assemblies and sporting events.  The class has affectionately named the Saber, “Sammy.”

Dennis Uniform Sale

Dennis Uniform Company is having a Memorial day Sale.  Today through May 29th save 15% off and free shipping on orders over $25.

Worm Dissection

Today Saint James School 6th graders, with parents’ permission, dissected worms during their Earth Science class.  Throughout the dissection, Mrs. Plante used images on the SMARTboard to help the students identify various parts of their worm including it’s brain, intestine, and gizzard – to name a few.  Last week, the 7th grade class dissected frogs using a similar process.  Special thanks to all the parent volunteers who came in to assist with both dissection programs (click pictures to enlarge).
