Congratulations to the 8th grade varsity soccer team, for finishing their regular season undefeated as well as winning the league championships this past weekend!!

Playoff game one was against St. Gabriel’s, defending champions from last year. Saint James came out strong ending the first half 3-0 and dominating the game until the end with a 4-0 win.

The Championship game was against Corpus Christi who beat St John Paul in a close 2-1 victory earlier that morning.  SJS defeated Corpus in an intense, well played game ending in a score of 2-1. The team closed out the season as undefeated Champions, bringing home 2 more trophies for our school.

Phenomenal effort was shown by everyone on and off the field.  Alec Bairos led the team with 4 of the 6 goals scored in the tournament, with assistance from Asrar Hossain.  A special acknowledgement also to the team’s goal keepers Dominic Cavallo and Kyle Pelletier for making some tremendous saves in both games to secure the victory.

For their last book report of the year, the 5th grade classes have been working in small groups to create a board game based on the book that they read.  Their instructions for this project included creating a game board that depicted the setting of the story, game pieces that would represent the characters, and a game ending that would coincide with the conclusion of the book.  The rest was up to the students’ imagination.

Yesterday, the 4th grade classes came up to the 5th grade classrooms to play the various games with their creators.  Kudos to all our 5th grade students on the tremendous job they did with this assignment! (click images to enlarge)
