The Saint James School basketball season is in full swing! Here are a few pictures from the most recent games
Last week, Saint James School 4th Grade students completed and presented their Gingerbread Man Trap project. Combining creativity, engineering skills, and of course, a lot of fun, 4th grade Science teacher, Mrs. Devanney, challenged students to create a trap that could catch and hold a gingerbread man. Students came up with all kinds of fun ways to lure the gingerbread man into the trap, and a wide variety of ways to keep him from escaping. Here are some pictures of the students with their creations and some of the students presenting to their classmates:

Our Saint James School Student Council will be collecting donations to help bring some “Comfort and Joy” to tweens and teens in Manchester this Christmas season.
The gifts we collect will be passed on to MACC Charities to distribute at their annual Christmas party and will specifically be used for kids aged 10 – 14.
If you are able to help, your donation will be greatly appreciated; According to MACC, the kids they deal with in this age group are often fending for themselves for things like food, clothing, and toiletries.
Suggested donations that would be beneficial for these kids (as per MACC) are:
(Please do NOT donate sports equipment such as footballs, basketballs, etc.)
If you are able to donate, please have your student bring in the items to their homeroom teacher by December 15th. Each homeroom will have a special box for collecting donations.
