Just a reminder that this coming Monday, January 20th (MLK Day)  Dairy Queen on Hartford Road in Manchester will be hosting Saint James School night from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.

DQ will donate 10% of all sales (take out, drive through, or dine-in) made during the 6:00pm to 9:00pm time frame to Saint James School.  All proceeds from the night will go directly to Mrs. Kanute to use for classroom supplies, etc.

Please spread the word to family and friends as well!  No special flyer is needed – all purchases during the 6:00pm to 9:00pm time frame count toward the 10% for our school!

A huge Thank You to David Baum, store manger at DQ for his support of Saint James!

 

Dairy Queen is located at 684 Hartford Road in Manchester.

We are in need of a volunteer to head up our 2014 Drama Club.  We have several volunteers who have offered to help with the production, but are unable to commit to being the chair.  Anyone who would be willing to step up to chair the Drama Club is asked to please call Mrs. Kanute as soon as possible.

 

Yesterday, after attending Mass, Saint James School 5th graders celebrated Father Burns’ 80th birthday with a surprise pizza party and, of course, a special 80th birthday cake.  The class presented Father Burns with cards they made and a special picture that all the students had signed.  Below are some pictures from the celebration.
