Thank you to all our families and staff members who donated to the Thanksgiving Food Drive for Saint Vincent de Paul.  They picked up the food yesterday and were extremely grateful for all your generous support.

As part of their Life Science course work, 7th grade students constructed a 3-dimensional model of a plant cell or an animal cell.  Students had to creatively represent the cell organelles (nucleus, nucleolus, mitochondria, smooth E.R. and rough E.R., golgi apparatus, etc.) using items of their choice such as candy, pasta, buttons, string, or foam.  A written report accompanied the project and an oral quiz was given to each group about their model. Below are pictures of some of the students with their models.

The Saint James School Ski & Snowboard club has reached its maximum capacity so registrations are no longer being be accepted.  If you wish to be put on a waiting list, please contact Denise McCarthy at dmccarthy@neopost.com.
