Tomorrow's Elementary School Cross Country Challenge
Thank you to all our parents who registered their child(ren) to run on behalf of Saint James School at the Cross Country Challenge tomorrow.
Please read the following details concerning tomorrow’s event:
Registration tables will be located outside the main gate to Memorial Field at Manchester High School. Please arrive at the registration table 20-25 minutes prior to the race start time. Children will pick up their race t-shirt shirt (if registration was sent in by by 10/4), name tag, and race tag. Races will start promptly at the designated time, so please come early to allow for extra parking time and registration (it will be extremely busy at the High School on Saturday due to other events occurring at the same time).
For students registered after 10/4, please have them wear their SJS gym shirt.
All spectators (parents/guardians/siblings) MUST REMAIN OUTSIDE THE TRACK AND FIELD while kids are running. Parents and siblings may not run with the racers. There will be older students from cross country teams at the high school/middle school level who will be there to assist children on where to run. Also, NO DOGS are allowed at the event.
The event will take place rain or shine.
If you have any questions, please e-mail our parent volunteer coordinator, Amy Guenther, at jag8699@cox.net.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning for this fun, annual Manchester-wide event!

2013-2014 Middle School Dances
The Middle School Dances bring together 6th, 7th, and 8th graders from four area Catholic schools – Saint James, Saint Bridget, Saint Christopher, and Assumption – for a fun evening of dancing and socializing.
Please note, a Middle School Dance Chair (or Co-Chairs) are needed in order for the 2013-2014 Middle School Dances to happen. We do not currently have anyone in that role, so Saint James’ participation in the schedule below is tentative pending parent volunteers from our school. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Kanute.
