For this weekend’s games only, all the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade players will play as one team since so many players are unavailable due to vacation. This is NO practice on Wednesday, April 17th and there are NO games on Saturday, April 20th. Practice will resume on April 24th for 4th – 8th grade players not involved in band or choir (as we have our spring concert that evening).
As you may recall, each month Saint James K – 8 students are studying a different virtue as part of their religion classes. Today during the Rosary, Mrs. Zorger recognized our students who best exemplified the virtue of Forgiveness during the month of March (picture below) and introduced the next virtue our students will study: Compassion.
