Thank you to everyone that signed up to participate in the 2016 Drama Club! We have hit our maximum number of sign-ups for acting parts as of yesterday’s deadline so we will not be accepting any late sign-ups for actors. There is still space available in the stage crew if your student is interested.
As part of their recent lessons, the Saint James Kindergarten students wrote about what they would give to Jesus for His birthday. Check out this cute video of our Kindergartners reading what they wrote (please note, only students who had permission to be photographed/on camera were included).
Thank you to all the Saint James School moms and sons who came out for the Mother/Son Wolf Pack Game yesterday. We had well over 100 attendees and the event was a lot of fun!

This Saturday, Jan 23rd, Saint James will be hosting JV basketball games all day long at our school. As other schools have done when they host, we are going to have a concession stand to sell drinks and snacks for the spectators as well as the players. In addition to the JV basketball parent volunteers who have been signing up to collect admission and keep the scoreboard and books, we are looking for parent volunteers to work the concession stand. They are looking for a 1-2 hr commitment between the hours of 9am-6pm (2 parents per time slot). This will be a cash only table. Please contact Beverly-Anne Cattanach at beverly.fiumara@snet.net if you can help. Please leave the best contact number too in case she needs to reach you. Thank you for your help.
Our Saint James JV teams will play as follows:
9am – Saint James Girls JV White vs. St. Mary
10am – Saint James Girls JV Blue vs. St Mary
1pm – Saint James Boys JV Blue vs. St. Chris
7pm Saint James Boys JV Gold vs. St. Bridget
Games played in between the times noted above are made up of other schools in the league, however we are still responsible for staffing at all games.
