Thank you to our 8th grade students for hosting today’s school-wide Rosary (over the intercom).  Here are a few pictures of the kids praying in their classrooms this morning.

Today during Art class with Mrs. Rafferty, SJS Kindergarten students listened to the story ‘The Dot’ by Peter Reynolds, and created their own Dot-inspired works of art.

Saint James School offers a Cross Country team for students in Grades 5 – 8 who enjoy running.   In order to participate in the team when the season kicks off, students must have the endurance to run at least one mile without stopping (at the very minimum).

Coach O’Neill is also looking for a couple of parent volunteers who enjoy running to help out with our team this year – unfortunately, we cannot have a team without parent helpers (please reach out to Mrs. Sager at lsager@saintjamesschool.net if you can help).

Please remember that students running Cross Country will need their Athletic Health Form completed & signed by the child’s doctor for the start of school (students cannot participate until this form is on file): Athletics Health Permission Form

 

As another year of learning comes to a close we wish to Thank You again for choosing to be part of the Saint James School family, and for the various ways that each of you help make Saint James School such a special place!  

We wish everyone a healthy, relaxing Summer Vacation and look forward to see you back at Saint James School in September.

Cross Country

Cross Country (open to students in grades 5-8) is scheduled to start shortly after school resumes in September.  If your child/ren are interested in participating, Coach O’Neill had put together this summer training schedule your runner may wish to follow.  Students wishing to participate in the Cross Country program must have the endurance to run distances of 1-3 miles at the start of the season.
