We are hoping the weather will cooperate for tomorrow’s first outing for the SJS Ski & Snowboard Club.  It looks like the weather will clear in the afternoon, but please keep an eye on email in case plans do change and the mountain is unable to open.

For students/adults riding the bus to Mt. Southington, the gymnasium doors will be open at morning arrival for students to drop off their ski/snowboard equipment and bags with snowpants, helmets, gloves, etc.   Students will have an opportunity to change out of their uniform attire in the afternoon before boarding the bus.  Students will receive their lift tickets and rental agreements (where applicable) on the bus.  Please make sure your child has a note informing their teacher they will be going to ski club after school.

Also, please make sure you have reviewed the parent informational letter from Mr. Joyner that was emailed to parents of participants.

For families that purchased tickets for Sunday’s UCONN basketball game or the game in February, tickets will be coming home with students tomorrow (Wednesday).

Please encourage your student to wear their 100th anniversary t-shirt (given out before Christmas break) to the game(s) to show their school spirit!

As a reminder for students that signed up for our winter Chess Club, the first meeting is this Wednesday, January 11th after school.  Students will need to bring a note from home for their teacher stating that they are staying after for Chess Club.

The next meeting of the 2023 Saint James School Gala Planning Committee will be held this Wednesday – January 11th at 6:00pm – in the school cafeteria. 

Several parents are already on board to chair the event this year but we will need lots of help with the various sub-committees.  Our next brainstorming and planning meeting will be combined with the HSA meeting for this month.  The Gala (which will be held April  29th and have a Roaring Twenties Theme this year) is always a blast and the planning is also a lot of fun.  We hope you can join us!

What is the Saint James School Gala?

The annual Saint James School Gala is our largest fundraiser of the year and a wonderful, adults-only social event for SJS families, alumni, and friends. Attendees have the option to participate in the live and/or silent auctions and bid on awesome prizes for their family and/or students.  The event also features food, dancing, and a whole lot of fun. This year the Gala will be held on April 29th at beautiful Cheney Hall.  More information will be sent out very soon!
