Middle School Dance February 7th

Attention Parents and Students:  After much consideration and discussion, we have decided to make the dance at Saint James on Feb. 7 a “traditional” school dance (instead of the bring-a-friend dance originally planned). We are looking into having a dance just for Saint James Middle School Students at a later date where they can bring a friend.

 

Please remember Saint James 6th grade students are asked to bring individually wrapped snacks and Saint James 7th and 8th grade students bring one gallon jugs of water. Please bring your contribution to the cafeteria no earlier then Friday Feb 7 or you can bring it to the gym the night of the dance.

 

Middle School Dance Volunteers Needed

We are in need of numerous parent volunteers for the Middle School Dance on Feb 7th at Saint James school.  Please contact Jen Melia @ melia_thomas_p@sbcglobal.net and or Regan Walters @ waltersripp@cox.net if you can help.

Lunch Parents Needed

Mrs. Kanute is seeking additional parent volunteers to help out with daily lunch/recess duty at the school.  If you could possible help, please contact Mrs. DelSignore in the school office with dates and times you would be available or to get more information.

SJS Girls Varsity Basketball Update

Congratulations to the Saint James Varsity Girls for winning the opening round of the Buzz Woodridge/Illing/Town of Manchester tournament with a score of 39-22. By utilizing a well-played & disciplined offensive approach,  Saint James took the early lead and never looked back.  Coach Sarpu noted the team’s passing was the best of the year and showed true teamwork among the players:  “The glue was the play of our excellent 8th grade leaders, but the Team was successful because of the ball movement, hustle, and smart play of our maturing, younger stars.”
