Fifth Grade Ship Day Pictures

/in /by

Fifth grade students had a fun day today pretending to be on a ship headed for the “new world” as part of their studies on early American history.  Here are a few pictures from the morning as they passed through the bag checkers (who removed any items that would not have been around in the 1600s), signed the “Saint James Compact,” and settled in for a day-long adventure at “sea.”

Saint James School Gala 2015

/in /by

Tired of dealing with snow and traffic at morning drop-off? Did you know that one of the items auctioned off at the Annual Saint James School Gala is a few months of reserved parking right in front of the school during drop off? Also a spot for after school pick up, right in front of school? Plan on coming to the Gala on Saturday, March 7th to bid on one of these great items and many more! Please be on the lookout for your 2015 Gala invitation in your child’s school folder at the end of this week.

Pep Rally Fun

/in /by

Friday, Saint James Pre-K through Grade 8 students celebrated Saint James School during the annual Blue & Gold Pep Rally.  Students enjoyed fun relay games, hosted by the Student Council, then watched as the boys Varsity Basketball team played the Girls Varsity Basketball team.  Finally, the highlight of the afternoon, was the teachers (and Father Casey) vs. 8th graders basketball game, which the teachers won!

Save the Date, Annual Gala & Fundraiser, March 7th

/in /by

This year’s Saint James School Gala & Fundraiser will be held at Georgina’s Restaurant on Saturday, March 7th.

TWO THINGS to look for in your child’s school folder:

1. Your child should have brought home a flyer detailing ways you can contribute to the Gala should you wish to do so. You can donate a live or silent auction, advertise your business, or write a special message in the Gala Program Book.  All proceeds from the gala support our children’s education at Saint James School.

2. Your invitation for the Gala will be sent home in your child’s school folder soon. Please return the RSVP card included to the school office to reserve your spot.  Feel free to invite your family (adults only), friends, co-workers, etc. to join you for this fun, evening out in support of our great school.

Also, just a reminder that we are currently collecting items for the 2015 Class Baskets.  You can see examples of a few baskets from last year by clicking here.  The list of basket themes by class can be found here.

If you have any questions, please contact the Gala Chair, Paul Munns, at 860-214-4249 or paulrmunns@yahoo.com.
