Used Book Fair Thank You!
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolMrs. Carpenter would like to send out a huge Thank You to all the people who donated books to the Used Book Sale yesterday and sent money in for their children to shop with. We raised $682.00 to add to our budget for new library books over the course of next year! And – most importantly – the students were so excited to shop for books and were taking every opportunity to read them throughout the day yesterday! We plan to hold another used book sale during the winter (January/February time frame) next year so please keep us in mind as you clean out your child(ren)’s bookshelves in the months to come.
Advanced Band Visits Arbors
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolRecently, the Saint James School Advanced Band took a bus trip to The Arbors retirement community in Manchester to play for the residents. Students also mingled with the attendees and took turns introducing themselves, the grade they are in, and how long they have been playing for. Unbeknownst to us, until the students began talking to the attendees, one of the residents was a former employee of Saint James School many years ago! Many thanks to Mr. Corcoran and the Arbors for giving our students this great opportunity to give back to the community (click pictures to enlarge).
Select members of SJS band also played in New York City earlier this week and played at the Old Statehouse in Hartford today.
Important: Lunch Money
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolThe cafeteria would like to remind parents that money for lunch or lunch accounts MUST be sent in either via a check (made out to “Manchester Hot Lunch Program”) or cash that is in an envelope labeled with “Manchester Hot Lunch Program,” the child’s name, grade, and teacher. Teachers are currently receiving cash with nothing documenting which child it is associated with or even what it is for. Thank you in advance for helping us keep our lunch program running smoothly.
1st Grade Butterflies
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolAfter saying a prayer for safe travels, SJS 1st graders (along with the Pre-Kindergarten students) released their butterflies into the wild yesterday afternoon. The 1st grade students have watched these classroom pets go from caterpillars to chrysalises to butterflies as part of their science studies. The 1st grade students later wrote stories about where the butterflies would travel to and what they would do while there. The stories were put into a cute butterfly folder they made in class. (click pictures to enlarge). Thank you to Mrs. Belsito and Mrs. Cunningham for the pictures!
