Tree of Blessings Ceremony
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2022 Saint James School Tree of Blessings. This morning, immediately following our 4th week of Advent prayer service, members of the 8th grade class led the ceremony to honor and pray for the individuals listed on each ornament.
Christmas Concert
Congratulations to all the performers at last night’s SJS Christmas Concert. What an amazing job by all three bands and our 1st and 4th grade performers!!
Christmas Store
Lots of fun at the SJS Christmas Store yesterday! Thank you to parent volunteer Mrs. McCarthy for hosting and to the numerous other parent volunteers who came to help out yesterday!
Advent Wreath Prayer Service & Pre-K Blessings
This morning our kindergarten through 8th grade students celebrated the third week of Advent with a prayer service with Father Jaime. Thank you to 8th graders Lauren, Cora, and Layne for assisting with the readings. After the prayer service, Father Jaime visited (and sang Christmas songs!) with our Pre-K classes.
PJ Dress Down For CCMC
Thank you to everyone who participated in our $1.00+ PJ/Comfy Clothes dress down on Friday! Together we raised approximately $900 for the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center. Great job Sabers! #sjs100actsofkindness
Varsity Basketball Home Opener
Varsity basketball home openers last night: The boys took home the win against St. Paul with both a strong offensive and defensive game. The girls also played a strong defensive game, but in the end came up short against St. Paul. We are looking forward to a great season!
Feast of the Immaculate Conception Mass
Today our 1st – 8th grade students celebrated Mass with Father Jaime for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Forth grade student, Edward H., did a wonderful job with the readings and our middle school students – as always – were helpful buddies for their younger peers.
St. Nicholas’ Feast Day
In keeping with tradition, our Pre-Kindergarten through 3rd Grade students left one shoe outside their classroom yesterday morning in celebration of St. Nicholas Day (Feast Day of St. Nicholas). More commonly observed in Northern Europe, St. Nicholas Day is celebrated by attending Mass and leaving a shoe by the fireplace, in which children later find a treat or gift (the origin of our American Christmas stockings).
Cards for Residential Facilities
As one of our #100ActsOfKindness, Saint James School Pre-K, Elementary, and Middle School students have been busy creating Christmas cards to distribute to several local residential facilities.
