Today, three recent SJS graduates (and one from the class of 2004) visited with our middle school students to talk about their experience so far at East Catholic High School and to answer questions from our current students who may be interested in attending East. Pictured below (l to r) are: Ms. Ellen Devlin, the new Director of Admissions at ECHS (SJS Class of ’04), Alexandra Russell (’15), Xavier Voss (’16) and Timothy Leyden (’16).
For any middle school families interested in attending the East Catholic Open House this year, it will be held on November 3rd at 6:45pm. All current 8th grade SJS students will be bused to East Catholic on October 14th for a visit. The ECHS entrance exams (for current 8th grade students) will be held November 12th at 8:00am and December 3rd at 8:00am. If you have any questions, please contact the ECHS Director of Admissions, Ms. Devlin, at (860) 649-5336 (Ext. 6238).
We currently have 42 Grade K – 5 students signed up to run on behalf of SJS on October 15th, but we are looking for more! All Grade K – 5 Students who expressed an interest in running (and have not already signed up) will be bringing home the Manchester XC Race form/information in their “take home” folders today (a copy can also be found below). Please send your form to the office by tomorrow (9/28) to receive a free Saint James School/XC Challenge T-shirt (your child must be present at the event to get the shirt). We particularly need more Kindergarten boys, 1st grade boys, and 2nd – 5th boys and girls.
In case you missed it on TV over the weekend, below is the link to the TV Mass that Father Carlson and our 8th graders hosted last week.
Thank you to all our parents for coming out for Saint James School’s Family Fun Night on Friday. We had a great turnout and everyone seemed to have a great time!

Below are some pictures (click to enlarge).
Just a reminder that tonight is Candy Bar Bingo, sponsored by the Saint James School HSA, for all the families that RSVP’d. Please remember admission is one full-size candy bar per attendee. We look forward to seeing you there tonight!
