The SJS Family Pasta Dinner, scheduled for this Thursday evening, has been postponed.  With this being a very busy time of year for many families, we have decided to reschedule the event to the Fall.

On Friday, May 30 , the HSA will host the annual Staff Appreciation Luncheon. The luncheon takes place from 12:00pm-1:00pm in the cafeteria.  Please remember there is NO Hot Lunch served on this day.  We are in need of volunteers to help with any of the following:

1) Prepare main dishes, sides, and desserts or to provide beverages for the luncheon

2) Cover the classrooms for the teachers while they are at the luncheon (must have background check & VIRTUS training on file with the school)

3) Donate a door prize for the luncheon raffle

Parents/grandparents are welcome to come help during the luncheon as well.  If you are interested in covering the classroom for a teacher, please e-mail the teacher directly.  If you are able to donate a food item, donate to the raffle, or help in any way, please email Beth Holcomb at bah.cats@cox.net.

Hot lunch account statements were sent home on Friday.  All outstanding balances must be paid in full by the end of May.  Beginning June 2nd through the end of the school year, students wishing to purchase school lunch must either have enough money in their account to cover the purchase or bring cash.  Please take a few moments to review your lunch account statement and make sure you are aware of the balance.  Thank you.

On May 30th students may dress down as well as wear crazy socks and/or wear a hat at school for a $1.00 donation to benefit the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) post on East Center Street in Manchester.

Last week, the fourth grade classes enjoyed a walking tour of historic Manchester visiting the Cheney Homestead, Keeney Schoolhouse, Cheney Hall, History Center Loom Exhibit, CT Fireman’s Historical Society, and the Old Manchester Museum.  Attached below are a few of the pictures sent in by the teachers and trip chaperones.
