7th Grade NYC Field Trip

The Saint James School 7th grade class recently visited New York City for a class field trip.  In addition to a bus trip through the city, stops included the Statue of Liberty, 9-11 memorial, and the SeaGlass Carousel at the Battery Conservancy.  Below are several pictures from the trip (Please click the pictures to enlarge).  Special thanks to Mrs. Toomey for sending these in for everyone to enjoy.

Help Still Requested – Funding Cuts

Thank you to everyone who contacted their legislators in response to the cuts to state funded-transportation to and from schools.  The Archdiocese and Catholic School Advocacy Groups are still looking for our support since the cuts have still not been finalized.

The link below contains a prepared e-mail message for elected officials about the critical need to protect our busing services. The page will isolate the sender’s legislators’ e-mail addresses based on his/her zip code and home address. It should only take a minute to complete and send directly from the link.  Thank you for helping us preserve affordable Catholic education in the State of Connecticut.

Thank you!
