We are excited to announce that Archbishop Blair will be visiting Saint James Church this Sunday, January 5th, and will be our celebrant for the 11:00am Mass.  This is a special honor for us and we invite all Saint James School families to join us for the 11:00am Mass, followed by a special reception in the church hall.

Mr. Corcoran would like to remind all our band students that band and lessons will resume on Thursday so please remember your instruments.

Below are pictures of the items still remaining in our lost & found (clicking the picture will enlarge it).  The tables will be set up through the end of day Thursday.  Please feel free to stop by at morning drop-off, afternoon pick-up, or during the day to see if any of these “lost” items belong to your family.  After Thursday, any remaining sweatpants, sweatshirts, hats, gloves, etc. will be delivered to a local shelter or, if appropriate, sent over to our uniform closet.

Please be on the lookout for the Saint James School Family Directory, coming home with students today or tomorrow.  One copy is being sent home per family (it will come home with the youngest child).  Please remember, parents had to opt in or out of the directory, so not all SJS families will be included.

Last Thursday, our 2nd graders participated in a much loved tradition – making gingerbread houses to bring home for Christmas.  Mrs. Buono and Mrs. Crocini, both of whom retired from Saint James School several years ago, returned to help and join in the fun (pictures below):
