The Catholic School Soccer League will kick off on Saturday.  Some reminders for the games:

• Please arrive at least 20 minutes prior to game time.  This very important this week –we have uniforms to distribute. Please wear soccer shorts, shin guards and soccer socks.  Soccer shoes if you have them (plastic cleats only).  Sneakers will work also.

• All jewelry must be removed (including earrings) and only soft headbands .

• Bring plenty of water.

• Apply Sun Screen.

We may have to adjust the rosters after this week to account for the number of players and boy/girl split on some of the teams.  We may also ask some players to play an extra game this week due to many players still being on vacation.

Just a reminder that Saint James School is on break all next week (13th – 17th) for our April vacation.  We are excited to announce that the new (“peaked”) breezeway roof is expected to be installed during this time (barring any unforeseen issues).  We hope you have a wonderful, relaxing week and we will see you back at school on Monday, April 20th.

 

Congratulations to our Hats Off to Reading contest winners:  1st grade!  The 1st graders read a total of 668 books, winning a dress down day and no homework night (teachers will let their classes know when the dress down day will occur).

 

 

A reminder that there is no school tomorrow (Friday) in observance of Good Friday.  On behalf of all of us at Saint James School, we wish you and your family a very Happy Easter!

 

 

Saint James School 3rd graders have been learning about small animals and habitats as part of their science lessons.  Each student researched and hand-wrote a book, with pictures, about an assigned animal.  This week, students dissected sanitized owl “pellets” (which contain the bones of their prey) as they learned about owls.  Pictures from this neat lesson are below.
