Celebrating Dr. Seuss’ Birthday

Yesterday, students celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday and Read Across America in many different ways.  Pictures from yesterday and earlier in the week can be found below.

Saint James is also extending our special Dr. Seuss’ inspired celebration of reading for the whole month of March with our “Hats Off to Reading Contest” for grades K-6th and the “One Fish, Two Fish” contest that Mrs. Carpenter is running in the school library.

Mrs. Sabatella has also been working with students in the lower grades on drawing different Dr. Seuss characters during a special cross-curricular art program she is spearheading.

SJS JV Girls Win Deanery Championship

Last night the St. James JV Girls earned a hard fought victory against a tough St. Tim’s team, winning 29-21 in the Central CT Deanery Championship.  The win also earned the girls  a #1 seed in the upcoming State Tournament.  This marks the JV Girls fourth Deanery Championship in a row.  Coach Jaime Jablonecki said of the win, “Our girls rose to the challenge last night!  Saint Tim’s had the size advantage all night long, but in the 4th quarter these girls just refused to give up and their big hearts came through.  Saint James should be very proud of each and every one of these girls with how they represented our school.”  Great job Sabers!!
