The March Extended Day billing statements are available from Ms. Jean.  If you used the extended day program in March, please stop down and grab yours if you have not already done so.

Egg-cellent Music

Attached are a few cute pictures from Ms. Labowski’s 1st grade class.  SJS Music Education teacher, Mrs. Archangeli, talked to the kids about maracas and helped the students made their own special Easter Egg maracas, which they used as they sang.

Spring Recess Next Week!

As a reminder, there is no school all of next week (April 10th – 14th) for spring recess.  We will return to school on Monday, April 17th.

On behalf of the staff and administration at Saint James School, we wish you a fun and relaxing April break and a joyous Easter with your family and friends!

All students, faculty, parents, and other guests of our students are invited to join us tomorrow – FRIDAY, April 7th – at 7:30am in Ms. O’s middle school classroom (top floor, Room B207) for another special Lenten Prayer Service.  Please take this time and/or encourage your child(ren) to join us in prayers for family, friends, peace, and other special intentions.

We look forward to seeing you and/or your child(ren) there.

Kindergarten Easter Egg Fun

Even through the weather was not cooperative for the annual Kindergarten Easter Egg Hunt to be outdoors, the kids still had tons of fun “hunting” for eggs in the gym yesterday!

3rd Graders Learn About Owls

SJS 3rd graders have been learning about small animals and habitats as part of their science lessons. Students are working on researching, writing, and illustrating a short book about an assigned animal. Yesterday, Mrs. Phelan’s class dissected (sanitized) owl “pellets,” as they learned about owls and what they eat (click pictures to enlarge).  The kids were excited to have retired SJS 3rd Grade teacher Mrs. Camposeo come back to join in the fun!  Mrs. Moran’s class will be doing the owl pellet dissection after April break.

SJS Soccer Update

As of now, we have not gotten confirmation from the Town of Manchester that the fields are playable.  With today’s rain the field will be unplayable so there will be no practice on Wednesday, April 5th.  There is still a possibility that there will be some games on Saturday, April 8th, but with additional rain scheduled for Thursday/Friday they may be cancelled.  Please stay tuned for further updates.
