Tomorrow, Saint James School will begin the season of Lent with a prayer service and the distribution of ashes.
As we enter this sacred time in the liturgical calendar, our faith invites us to embrace self-sacrifice and focus on acts of kindness to support those in need. In keeping with this spirit, we are once again participating in the Lenten Rice Bowl program, in partnership with Catholic Relief Services.
Tomorrow Pre-K through Grade 8 students will receive their “Rice Bowls” from their homeroom teacher. The goal is for students to earn change (for acts of kindness or tasks performed at home) to put into the rice bowl. Money collected will then be donated to Catholic Relief Services to help fight hunger and malnutrition around the globe. You can visit crsricebowl.org to watch videos and learn more.
If your family will be participating, please note that Rice Bowls are due back to homeroom teachers by April 9th.
Manchester SRO Visit
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolToday, we had the honor of welcoming several members of the Manchester Police Department who serve as school resource officers in our town. The officers walked around the inside and outside of the school with Mrs. Nadaskay and Mrs. Zorger as part of our routine assessments. We appreciate the strong partnership with our local law enforcement and are grateful for the time they spent with us today.
