4th Grade Presidents

Today our 4th graders completed their project on an assigned U.S. President, turning in a short report and giving a brief oral presentation to their classmates.  As part of the assignment, students could choose to dress as their President for the day, put together an informational poster, or make a puppet.  Below are pictures of some of the 4th graders and their secret service detail (click images to enlarge).

Lots of Love at Paint Nite!

Thank you to all the moms who joined us for Paint Nite.  It was such a great time getting to know each other better and raising money for our wonderful school.  There was so much fun, laughter and creativity!  Click on the picture below to see the masterpieces!  Thank you to Erin Daley and Kerry Caldwell for baking very tasty treats to make the night even sweeter.

 

If you were not able to attend but would be interested in a similar event in the future, let us know at HSA@SaintJamesSchool.net.  If there is enough interest, we can definitely host another Mom’s Night Out soon!

Important Notice

Due to the amount of students absent with illnesses over the last few weeks, we have decided to shut down the water fountains in the school to help prevent the spread of germs.  We have also been taking extra measures to thoroughly clean desks, door handles, railings etc.

Since the water fountains will not be available for the foreseeable future, please advise your child(ren) to make sure they have a full water bottle for school each day.  They will be given opportunities to drink throughout the day.
