On Wednesday, the SJS Pre-Kindergarten through 7th grade classes watched the 8th grade students perform in the annual 8th Grade Show.  A video of the daytime performance can be found HERE.

In addition, in keeping with tradition at Saint James School, the graduating class is leaving behind a gift to the school – a Saber “spirit” costume – which can be used in the future at assemblies and sporting events.  The class has affectionately named the Saber, “Sammy.”

Today Saint James School 6th graders, with parents’ permission, dissected worms during their Earth Science class.  Throughout the dissection, Mrs. Plante used images on the SMARTboard to help the students identify various parts of their worm including it’s brain, intestine, and gizzard – to name a few.  Last week, the 7th grade class dissected frogs using a similar process.  Special thanks to all the parent volunteers who came in to assist with both dissection programs (click pictures to enlarge).

Thank you very much to all the families that contributed to the upcoming Staff Appreciation Week festivities! Your generosity is greatly appreciated and will help make next week extra special for our teachers, administrators, and staff.  If you are still planning on donating money or a raffle item, please send it to the Main Office: Attn: Amy Santangelo by this Friday.  Any questions can be directed to event chair, Amy Santangelo at amybsantangelo@gmail.com.

Parents using aftercare, please ensure you are at the school no later than 5:30pm today to pick up your child/ren.  Our aftercare staff will all be attending an off-site function as soon as all students are picked up today.

Yesterday afternoon, Saint James School celebrated the Crowning of Mary along with praying the Rosary.  Below is a picture of the 2nd grade students, many of whom participated in the crowning, along with Saint James Pastor Father Kevin Cavanaugh.
