Congratulations to SJS student Isabel Taclawan who took 1st place in the 5th grade category at the 2017 Knights of Columbus Regional spelling bee last night.  She will now move on to the State Competition, being held April 22nd at St. Mary in New Haven.  Congratulations also to SJS students Ethan Miller (4th grade) and Kaitlyn Nyberg (6th grade) for their exceptionally strong performances in last night’s spelling bee as well!

Special thanks to Mrs. Miller and Mrs. DiBenedetto for the pictures!

Thank you to all our students and teachers who supported the $1.00 Green & White Dress down Day on St. Patrick’s Day (this past Friday).  Together we raised $342.00 in support of St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which supports pediatric cancer research.  Here are a few pictures of the students captured throughout the day (click pictures to enlarge)!  We also captured the 8th graders leading the school in “The Unicorn Song” – a long-standing tradition – during the annual St. Patrick’s Day assembly.  The video can be seen HERE.

 

Second Trimester report cards will be coming home with students today.
