On behalf of all of us at Saint James School, we wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the many friends of the school who participated in the Foundation’s golf tournament and dinner last week.  With 128 people golfing and even more attending the dinner, Saint James School is extremely blessed to have such wonderful support from the greater Manchester community!

Just before dinner, Mr. Timothy Devanney, President of the Saint James School Foundation, awarded our school with a check for over $141,000, money that will be used for partial tuition assistance, technology, and margin of excellence programs for the 2015-2016 school year.

Thank you again to all the members of the Foundation for all they do to support Saint James School!

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.

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:

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.

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!
