During the month of January, Saint James School is collecting items for the local non-profit organization Community Partners in Action. If you can help in any way, below is a list of items they are asking for:
Friday night the Boy’s Varsity Gold team traveled to Wethersfield to earn their biggest win of the season against Corpus Christi 51 to 47. Great team effort with contributions from entire squad. Team is building momentum with 4 straight victories as they head towards wrapping up regular season and looking forward to league playoffs. Next league home game for Boys Varsity Gold is Sunday January 24th at St James Gym at 2 pm, please try to come out and support these student athletes. (Thank you Mrs. Donnelly for sending in the picture below).

Please click HERE for information on our 2016 SJS Basketball Spiritwear. Please note, all orders must be in by tomorrow (Friday, January 15th) at noon. Unfortunately, we will be unable to accept late orders. Students who play SJS basketball are allowed to wear the warm-up pants on gym days as well as the basketball sweatshirt or performance pullover. Please contact Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net if you have any questions.
Yesterday, the Saint James School first grade classes had fun learning how to use the school’s new iPads. After last year’s successful introduction of iPad technology in the fifth through eighth grade classrooms, a second mobile iPad cart with 30 iPad units (designated for use by the Pre-Kindergarten through fourth grade classes) is in the process of being rolled out. iPad technology will not replace any of our traditional teaching methods but will be used to enhance students’ research skills and supplement select lessons with fun, learning activities. The iPads run on the school’s
heavily secured, wireless server, which employs strict filters and controls (click pictures to enlarge or click Here to like this post on Facebook).
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:
