Candy Bar Bingo Fun
Lots of smiles and fun at Saturday’s Candy Bar Bingo event sponsored by the SJS Home & School Association. Special thanks to our awesome 7th & 8th grade volunteers for helping us set-up and run the event and to Mrs. Poth for chairing.
1st Grade Prayer Towers
During their STREAM class, SJS 1st graders wrote (or drew a picture of) something they would like to pray for on a colored index card – then built the tallest tower possible out of 10 flat and 10 folded cards to help them lift that prayer up to God.

Thank you to all our families for helping make it a GREAT first day! Here are a few pictures we captured throughout out time together this morning.
Cross Country Reminder
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
