Reminder: 2016 Gala

>REMINDER: Auction Items are due TOMORROW. RSVPS are due by February 29th.

The St. James School annual Gala is March 5th at Georgina’s in Bolton.  You should have received the invitation via kid mail along with how you can contribute for the raffled off class baskets or silent and live auction items along with advertising in the program (also attached below).  This is our school’s biggest fundraiser of the year and a good way to spend the evening mingling with other parents.  If you haven’t been to the Gala before and have questions, or if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to contact Paul Munns at paulrmunns@yahoo.com or 860-214-4249.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Drama Club Auditions Tomorrow

Saint James Testimonials on WJMJ

Several weeks ago, a few parents and students volunteered to travel to Prospect, Connecticut to record commercials/testimonials on behalf of Saint James School for the Archdiocese of Hartford’s radio station WJMJ.  Many thanks to Brian Nyberg and his daughter Kaitlyn and Kathy Reilly and her boys Michael and Will for volunteering to record testimonials (Unfortunately, Kathy was unable to record due to a backlog).  All recorded spots are currently playing on WJMJ (88.9 FM – Hartford; 93.1 FM – Hamden; 107.1 FM – New Haven; 91.1 Fairfield).

Please note, all commercials/testimonials were written by the parents and students themselves.  A huge thank you to these parents and students for their time and commitment to our school!

Last week was another strong week for the Saint James Varsity Boys Gold team as they finished league play with their 10th straight league win at St Pauls of Kensington. The team also had an impressive run over the past few weekends participating in the 14-team St Rita’s Tournament in East Haven.  The boys placed second losing a tough game to a very talented Our Lady of Victory, from West Haven on Sunday afternoon.

The Boys and Girls Varsity teams are looking forward to Senior night this Thursday at the SJS gym.  Tip times are 6 pm and 7 pm  with a short presentation honoring these 8th graders playing their last game on SJS court.  Please come out and support your classmates one final time. Hope to see you there!
