Manchester Police Visit With Kindergartners

Police Officers from the town of Manchester and a K-9 Officer from Hartford visited the Saint James School Kindergarten classes today as students presented their show-and-tell on the letter ‘P.’  Officer Johnson, who joined us today, is an alum of Saint James School and a relative of one of our students.  Another student brought in a “piglet” for show and tell.  Here are a few pictures from this morning’s fun.
