The SJS Spring Uniform (uniform shorts for all grades and uniform polo shirts for middle school) may be worn beginning tomorrow (Friday, May 1st). Mrs. Kanute would like to remind parents that tan uniform shorts/pants must be purchased from Land’s End or the Dennis Uniform company, no exceptions. In addition, part of our uniform dress requirement is white, navy, or tan socks that cover the ankle. Please help ensure your student is dressed appropriately.
Yesterday our Pre-K through 8th grade classes each had a chance to stop by the Art Show in the gym to admire some of the amazing works of art created by Saint James School students this year. The works of art included pieces in the style of Wayne Thiebaud, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and contemporary illustrator Barbara Reid. There were abstracts, animals, metal tooling, sculptures, self-portraits, paintings, and still life drawings crossing many different world cultures.
We were glad to see so many parents and students back at school last night for the Art Show and Ice Cream Social. A special thank you to Highland Park Market for the ice cream treats. Below are some pictures of the students as they checked out the Art Show yesterday morning.

We are excited to announce the new iPad cart for the 5th-8th grade is up and running! On Friday, students in 5th grade used the iPads during part of their geography lesson. Attached below are several pictures that Mrs. Wojtyna took while the students were using one of the geography apps.
Prior to April break, your student should have brought home information about our Spring fundraiser from Mixed Bag designs. This fundraiser is a great way to support our school with many fun and eco-friendly products to choose from. Orders are due back to the school by Monday, April 27th. If you did not receive an information packet home with your student, please contact the school office for a copy.
Thank you again for your support!
