Yesterday our 2nd graders participated in the much-loved tradition of making gingerbread houses to bring home for Christmas. Below are some pictures of the kids creating and showing off their gingerbread masterpieces (click pictures to enlarge). There was even a special visit from Santa!

Thank you to all the families who recognized their loved ones via our 2017 Tree of Blessings. Our 8th grade students hosted a beautiful prayer ceremony for the entire school this morning, recognizing each person named on the tree.
Yesterday, our Saint James School Choir, led by Mrs. Archangeli, traveled to two local assisted living facilities – The Residence at South Windsor Farms and Manchester Manor – to sing for residents and staff. The audience at both places really enjoyed the performances and sang along with our choir on several traditional Christmas carols. Father Cavanaugh joined the group at the Residence in South Windsor, where Saint James Parish Priest Father Burns is now residing. (see picture below). (If you are a member of Saint James Church and wish to send Father Burns a Christmas card, you can mail it to: Father William Burns, c/o The Residence at South Windsor Farms, 200 Deming St, South Windsor, CT 06074.)
Parents can watch a short video of select songs HERE.
One of our Saint James School parents – Mrs. Piotrowski – is putting together an after-school board game club for students in grades 1-3. The club will meet every other Tuesday beginning in January and will be limited to approximately 10 kids per session on a first-come basis. Students can come sharpen their gaming skills in chess, checkers, dominoes and more! Look out for a flyer/permission slip being sent via the e-mail in early January.
Please mark your calendar: The date of the 2018 SJS Spring Concert has been moved to Monday, May 7th. The Saint James School website calendar has been updated to reflect this change.
Please note, middle school students will have band and lessons on Wednesday (12/20) this week.
Students in the school choir who will be going on the field trip to local nursing homes tomorrow (Tuesday, 12/19), will need to bring a lunch from home tomorrow. They will be back from their travels too late to purchase hot lunch.
