The Saint James School library will be having a used book sale on Tuesday, April 9th and Wednesday, April 10th in the gym from 8am-3pm.  All proceeds will be used to purchase more current books for the library.

We will be collecting gently used (not torn, ripped or colored on) and updated books for sale.  If you or your family have any children’s books or adult novels that you wish to donate, please bring them to the main office prior to April 1st.

We are also collecting family-friendly DVDs (No Rated R movies or VHS Tapes, please).  DVDs should be in good, working condition with no scratches, etc.

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help with this event, please contact Heather Meyer at grizmeyer@cox.net or Mrs. Alexander at balexander@saintjamesschool.net.

Read to Achieve tickets for Friday’s game were sent home on Wednesday in children’s school folders. Please plan to arrive at the MassMutual Center (1277 Main Street) in Springfield by 6:15pm to represent Saint James School in the pre-game on-court parade.

Just a reminder that there will be a Green & White dress down day for all students this Friday in honor of all the parent donations and hard work by our parent volunteers that went into making those amazing class baskets for the 2013 Gala.

Congratulations to all the Saint James School Basketball teams for a truly stellar performance this season!

The Saint James 6th Grade/JV Girls Basketball team won the Manchester Deanery Championship defeating Assumption 30-11 last week. By going undefeated in the Deanery regular season and tournament the girls earned a #1 seed in the State Tournament. In their state quarterfinal game played on Sunday they defeated St. Mary-Simsbury 27-8. They now move on to the state semi-finals this coming Friday, facing St. Gabriel at 7:00pm in Watertown. Good luck girls!

The 6th Grade/JV Boys Basketball Tournament team was the Manchester Deanery School Division Champions which earned them the Manchester Deanery #1 seed for the State Tournament.  They won their first State Tournament game on Saturday beating St. Paul 32-26.  A loss on Sunday ended their season.  Given the limited amount of time they had to come together as a team, getting to the second round of the State Tournament is a great accomplishment.

Both the Boys and Girls Varsity Basketball teams also enjoyed a great season!  The Varsity Girls won the regular season, school division tournament and overall Manchester Deanery Tournament.  The boys varsity also won their regular season and school division tournament.  Both teams made it through to win the sweet sixteen in the State Finals but lost in the quarter finals on Sunday in close scoring games.
