Yesterday, the Saint James School Cross Country team competed in their second race of the season at Illing Middle School.  Both the girls and boys finished a strong second place against Timothy Edwards and Illing. For the girls, Elizabeth M. placed first for Saint James and 6th overall from a field of 66 runners.  Ally A. was 7th overall, Lindsay O. was 8th, Kaitlyn N. placed 9th, and Isabelle B. was 11th.

For the boys, Aiden P. placed 2nd out of 73 runners.  Nick G. was 2nd for Saint James finishing in 14th place with Nathan M. (15th), Kevin L. (16th), and Matthew S. (19th) close behind.

Congratulations to all our runners on a great job!

The next competition will be the Harry Geraghty Invitational this Saturday at Rockville High School. Runners selected by the coach to participate should arrive at 8:15am.

Open Gym WILL be held this coming Tuesday, October 6th, for 4th & 5th grade boys (5-7pm) even though school is not in session. The Saint James School website calendar has been updated to reflect this.

As previously communicated, the Athletic Health form must be turned in to the office at least a full day in advance in order for a student to participate.

Please join us on Saturday, October 24th, as the Saint James School HSA hosts the school’s annual Halloween Party for students in Pre-K through 6th grade. There will be a DJ for dancing and lots of fun games and prizes. Please open the 2015 Halloween Party Flyer for more details (a copy was also sent home in your child’s school folder last week).  We hope to see you there!

Please be advised, the Grandparents’ & Special Persons’ Day Form that was sent home with students on Friday inadvertently listed “Tuesday,” October 23rd on the first line.  The correct date for Grandparents’ & Special Persons’ Day is Friday, October, 23rd.  We apologize for any confusion.
