Tomorrow’s Open House For Prospective Families

With today’s snow and the freezing temperatures that are expected Tuesday morning, please note that the plan for Tuesday’s Prospective Family Open House is as follows:

If Manchester Schools are delayed on Tuesday, we will begin the Kindergarten – 8th Grade Open House in the gym at 10:00am.  If there is no delay Tuesday morning, we will begin in the gym at 8:30am as originally planned.

 

If Manchester Schools are delayed Tuesday, the Pre-Kindergarten will have their Open House from 10:00am -1:00pm.  Interested families may drop in anytime during those hours that works for their schedule.  If there is no delay, the Pre-Kindergarten will be open from 8:30am – 11:30am.

Pep Rally Fun

Friday, Saint James Pre-K through Grade 8 students celebrated Saint James School during the annual Blue & Gold Pep Rally.  Students enjoyed fun relay games, hosted by the Student Council, then watched as the boys Varsity Basketball team played the Girls Varsity Basketball team.  Finally, the highlight of the afternoon, was the teachers (and Father Casey) vs. 8th graders basketball game, which the teachers won!

MACC Change Challenge: Change for Change

A reminder that Saint James School classes are collecting change in support of MACC charities through January 30th.  This is a great way to help guide your child in charitable giving and an opportunity for parents to explain about those who often go without basic necessities.

Each classroom has a change box that they are working on filling – 100% of the proceeds go directly to MACC (Manchester Area Conference of Churches) charities.  The class with the most change at the end of January will win a Pizza Party with Mrs. Kanute!  Second place is a chocolate and cookie party, and third place is special morning or afternoon snack.

We again thank you for all your support of our charitable initiatives.
