Our annual “Meet & Sweet” event for all NEW Saint James elementary/middle school families and their buddy families will be held the evening of Tuesday, August 26th from 6:00pm to 7:00pm.  All incoming Kindergarten students and their families (even if they have older siblings already at the school) are also invited to attend.

This special event will be held in the parking lot between the main school and the pre-kindergarten building. (In the event of rain, we will be in the school gym).

We look forward to seeing you there!

This summer you have the option to order your child’s school supplies online and have them delivered directly to your home.  In addition, Saint James School receives a percentage of every sale – convenience for you and a great way to support SJS!  Plus, even if you already have some of the supplies leftover from prior years, you can choose not to include those in your purchase.  Visit schooltoolbox.com and select “Find Boxes Now” to check it out or to begin placing your order.

 

 

 

As most of you are thinking of sun, fun, and no school, what better time to don your running shoes and explore the great outdoors!

I would like to encourage students entering 5th – 8th grade to come out in September for the SJS Cross Country Team.   There will be two practices per week with a competition on either a Friday or Saturday. Practices will take place on Tuesday afternoons following school and Saturday mornings.  This is the first year that cross country has been introduce to 5^th graders in the hopes of generating interest to the program at an earlier age.

Attached you will find a summer training schedule for those who are inspired to come ready to run in September.  I hope to find many new recruits eager to join the Saint James cross country team! The Manchester Running Club sponsors the Thursday Night Track & Field Series at Manchester High School, July 10-31^st. This is open to all ages and consists of various running, jumping and throwing events. Also, East Catholic offers summer sports programs which include boys & girls cross country, August 11^th-15^th. This is open to all students entering 5-9 grade.

Parents – attached is a health form that will need to be completed before any practice or competition. The season begins quickly, so it would be wise to have all forms completed prior to the beginning of school.  Also a $35.00 Cross Country fee is required before participation.

I would welcome any assistants to aid with practices and/or competitions. We will need parents and/or assistants to help in transporting students to and from a local location for practice. Please feel free to contact me this summer if interested.

Have a safe summer and happy running!
