Thank you to all our students and staff who participated in the Crazy Socks & Hats dress down day on Friday in support of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2046 located on East Center Street. Together we raised $419.00 which will be donated to the VFW in support of their fundraising efforts for long-overdue building repairs.

Just a reminder that there is NO hot lunch being served tomorrow due to the Staff Appreciation luncheon.  All students will need a lunch and drink from home tomorrow.

Also, a reminder that tomorrow is a $1.00 dress down to benefit the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) post on East Center Street in Manchester.  In addition to dress down attire, students may wear crazy socks and a hat if they wish.

Please remember, per our school handbook, the following guidelines apply for dress down days:

• Clothing must not have indecent writing or pictures; inappropriate slogans or advertisements
• Revealing clothing is not allowed (including short shorts, halter tops, half shirts, tank tops, and see-through tops).
• Waistbands must not sag below the waist. Pants legs must not drag on the floor.
• High heels, platform shoes, flip-flops, Crocs, and shoes with no backs are not allowed.
• Clothing must not be torn, ragged, or have holes.

We are very excited to announce that Saint James School 6th grade student Tyler Dias was selected as one of ten second place winners in a nationwide reading contest sponsored by WWE, the Pearson Foundation, and the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA).  Through his efforts Saint James School just received a donation of 1,000 new books, appropriate for our school’s range of ages.   A huge congratulations and Thank You to Tyler!
