Please join us tomorrow night (Saturday, May 16th) at 7:00pm as the 2015 Saint James School Drama Club presents Little Red Robin Hood. Admission is $5.00. The group did a fantastic job during their dress rehearsal performance, which was held this morning for pre-k through 8th grade students and staff.
Congratulations to Mrs. Phelan’s 3rd grade class for winning the last Box Tops contest of the school year. Mrs. Phelan will let her class know when the dress down day will occur.
A HUGE THANK YOU to parent volunteer Heather Meyer for all her help coordinating the Box Tops program for the last Eleven years! Since the program began in 2002, the school has earned over $19,000 from Box Tops!! This school year alone, we collected $1,786.50 plus another $680 was just sent in from recent Box Top collections! Thank you to everyone for supporting this program.
Mary Beth Dufresne will be taking over as Box Tops coordinator for the upcoming school year. Remember to keep saving Box Tops as the dress down contest will begin again in the Fall.
Tomorrow is the last day to RSVP for the Sports Banquet. Please click the link below to access a copy of the flyer.
A huge thank you to the Father/Daughter Dance committee for hosting this special, annual tradition this past weekend! Below are a few pictures that the committee sent in:
Congratulation to the Saint James School 8th Grade class on the outstanding job they did hosting International Day on Friday. International Day is an annual project for the 8th Graders, where they showcase their research on an assigned country. Costumes, games, props, and traditional dishes are part of the festivities. Students in all the other grades have an opportunity to visit the showcase throughout the day and the 8th Graders share information about their assigned country.
If you have any remaining Box Tops at home, please send them in on Monday. Mrs. Meyer will have a team counting them after school early next week. This will be the last Box Tops submission opportunity (for your child’s class to win a dress down day) for this year.
Save the date! The 2014-2015 SJS Team Sports Banquet will be held on Tuesday, May 19th from 5:00pm – 8:30pm at East Catholic High School. Students who participated in Saint James Cross Country, JV/Varsity Basketball, and/or Soccer are invited to attend (4th & 5th grade boys already had their awards/pizza party at the end of the season). Attached is the RSVP form. Please return to the office ASAP.
Congratulations to Saint James School 8th Grade students Jessica Datta, Benjamin Liptrap, and Taylor Talavera who placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (respectively) in an area-wide Knights of Columbus essay contest. The essay topic was “The Importance of Religious Freedom.” Pictured are the winners with Mr. Joseph Congdon, the Grand Knight of our local Knights of Columbus council, who came to present their awards. Great job SJS!
Just a reminder there will be a Home & School Association Meeting tonight (in the Pre-Kindergarten building) at 6:30pm.
