This Saturday, Jan 23rd, Saint James will be hosting JV basketball games all day long at our school. As other schools have done when they host, we are going to have a concession stand to sell drinks and snacks for the spectators as well as the players. In addition to the JV basketball parent volunteers who have been signing up to collect admission and keep the scoreboard and books, we are looking for parent volunteers to work the concession stand. They are looking for a 1-2 hr commitment between the hours of 9am-6pm (2 parents per time slot). This will be a cash only table. Please contact Beverly-Anne Cattanach at beverly.fiumara@snet.net if you can help. Please leave the best contact number too in case she needs to reach you. Thank you for your help.
Our Saint James JV teams will play as follows:
9am – Saint James Girls JV White vs. St. Mary
10am – Saint James Girls JV Blue vs. St Mary
1pm – Saint James Boys JV Blue vs. St. Chris
7pm Saint James Boys JV Gold vs. St. Bridget
Games played in between the times noted above are made up of other schools in the league, however we are still responsible for staffing at all games.

First Graders Have Fun with iPads
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolYesterday, the Saint James School first grade classes had fun learning how to use the school’s new iPads. After last year’s successful introduction of iPad technology in the fifth through eighth grade classrooms, a second mobile iPad cart with 30 iPad units (designated for use by the Pre-Kindergarten through fourth grade classes) is in the process of being rolled out. iPad technology will not replace any of our traditional teaching methods but will be used to enhance students’ research skills and supplement select lessons with fun, learning activities. The iPads run on the school’s
heavily secured, wireless server, which employs strict filters and controls (click pictures to enlarge or click Here to like this post on Facebook).
