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!

 

 

 

While SJS will be in session on Veteran’s Day (Monday, November 11th) please be advised that there will be no hot lunch (or milk) available that day.

Just a reminder that tonight we will be holding the Saint James “State of the School” Address in the school gym at 6:30pm.  Please join us as we review the school’s performance in critical areas, outline our goals for the year, and share additional details surrounding projects the school is working on.  In addition, Mr. Jason Hartling, Principal of East Catholic High School, will be joining us as a guest speaker.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Saturday at 1:00pm, Saint James School will host a performance by the CT Future Musicians Eastern Regional Band.  The Eastern Regional Band is comprised of 89 specially selected students from all across the eastern part of the state, including 11 students from Saint James School.  There is no charge for admission and all are welcome to attend.  We hope to see you there!

 

Calling all family members of SJS students who have served – or are currently serving – in the armed forces.  On November 11, 2013 we will be having a special ceremony in your honor.  Please take a moment to read the attached notice sent home by the school earlier this week.
