Just a reminder, Ski Club will be held tomorrow (January 15th) and January 19th. Students should put their skis/snowboard in the gym entrance, off to the sides so it doesn’t interfere with afternoon dismissal.
Ski Club spiritwear orders are due this Friday, January 15th.
Please take a moment to read the following notice from Mrs. Vignati:
Please be advised, the Knights of Columbus Free Throw Contest that was listed on our calendar for this Saturday afternoon has been postponed. We will let you know when we hear of a reschedule date.
Please click HERE for details on the upcoming Mother/Son event. RSVPs with payment may be sent into the main office via the students’ folders. Please note Mother/Son event on the envelope. We look forward to seeing you there!
We wish to extend a huge Thank You to all the students who participated in the special Saint James School Masses this weekend at Saint James Church. We received so many compliments from the church parishioners on what a wonderful group of students we have! And, thank you to all the parents and students who attended in support of our school and their classmates. Also, many thanks to the Saint James School Foundation for hosting the coffee and donuts after Sunday Mass and for all they do to support our school.
Thank you again to all the parents who took the survey concerning school pictures. We received a lot of great feedback in the comments section, all of which was read by Mrs. Kanute.
This weekend Saint James School students will be serving as readers, ushers, and gift bearers at all masses at Saint James Church. In addition, the Saint James School Foundation will be hosting coffee and donuts in the church hall (downstairs) following all the masses.
All Saint James School students and their parents are encouraged to come to one of the masses this weekend and help us spread the great news about our wonderful school.
Saint James School students are encouraged to wear their school uniforms (all students serving in any capacity at these masses must wear their SJS winter uniform). This is a great way for the Saint James Church parishioners (many of whom very generously support our school) to see the exceptional students they are investing in. Please help us kick off Catholic Schools Month in style!
All Saint James School families are welcome regardless of faith or home church.
The masses are as follows:
Saturday, January 9th @ 4:00pm
Sunday, January 10th @ 7:30am, 9:00am, and 11:00am
We look forward to seeing you there!
Please note that the Ski Club trip scheduled for January 5, 2016 has been postponed. The January 15, 2016 date is still on according to schedule. Sorry for any inconvenience. We want to be sure the conditions are optimal for each trip and, currently, they are not. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Denise McCarthy at d.mccarthy@neopost.com
