A reminder that Saint James School classes are collecting change in support of MACC charities through January 30th. This is a great way to help guide your child in charitable giving and an opportunity for parents to explain about those who often go without basic necessities.
Each classroom has a change box that they are working on filling – 100% of the proceeds go directly to MACC (Manchester Area Conference of Churches) charities. The class with the most change at the end of January will win a Pizza Party with Mrs. Kanute! Second place is a chocolate and cookie party, and third place is special morning or afternoon snack.
We again thank you for all your support of our charitable initiatives.

"The Outsiders" Pictures
/in St. James Notices /by jonesenToday, Saint James School 8th graders traded their uniforms for 1960’s attire in honor of finishing their coursework on the book The Outsiders. In addition to writing a cause and effect essay, students were given moral/ethical questions to consider both before and after they read the book. These questions were used for class discussions on tolerance, acceptance, empathy, and other themes central to the story. Pictures below are from Mrs. Wolpert’s 10:10 class.
