Saint James Classmates Connect Through Skype

Saint James School 5th grade students are remaining connected with a traveling classmate via Skype.  Ajay, who is visiting family in India, is using Skype to participate in select lessons with his classmates back at Saint James School.  In turn, students here at home are not only staying in touch with a friend, but learning more about the country of India (where it is currently 95 degrees!), as Ajay relays experiences about his visit.  In addition to classwork, the students are getting in some social time too – bringing an iPad to the lunch room so they could continue to chat with their friend.

SJS 2015 Soccer Season (Grades 3-8)

Just a reminder if your child(ren) will be playing soccer for Saint James School this spring.  The sign-up form should be returned to the school office with the appropriate activity fee (make checks out to “Saint James School”) by this Friday, March 27th.  If your child has not previously participated in a sport at SJS this year, you will need to also submit the Athletics Health Form for 2014-2015 (see below).

Coach Sargent is still in need of coaches, particularly for the younger grades (you do not have to have a child playing to coach). To volunteer or if you have any questions about the program, please contact Jon Sargent via telephone at 860-742-6659 or email: sjssoccer@charter.net.
