On Friday during Book Buddies, first and forth graders worked together to make a poster for Catholic Schools Week. With the help of the first graders, forth graders wrote about the reason St. James School is so special. The first graders made some fabulous art work to go with the writing samples. These posters are hanging outside the first and forth grade classrooms. Book Buddies is a special time when students can interact with older students in their school community. It’s one of the many traditions that makes St. James School so special!  Special thanks to Mrs. Alexander for these cute pictures!

 

 

Last night, the SJS boys’ varsity gold team won their 5th consecutive game by defeating crosstown rival, St. Bridget by a score of 32-13. With that win, the boys improved their record to 12-3.  The varsity girls also defeated St. Bridget last evening, keeping their perfect record intact.

Our Varsity Teams are back in action tonight in the Martin Luther King Tournament hosted by St. Paul of Kensington.  Games will be held throughout the weekend at St. Paul’s of Kensington, 461 Alling st, Berlin, CT.

Good Luck SABERS!!

Are your students looking for additional fun, after-school activities with friends?  Why not have them attend the Friday afternoon activities at our school’s Aftercare program?

Each Friday is a different themed activity that students of all ages can enjoy!  (Families must be registered with the Aftercare program before their student(s) can participate.)

This Friday, 1/11 will be BINGO with prizes for all!

Any questions, please reach out to Ms. Jean at jburdick@saintjamesschool.net.  The hourly Aftercare charge is just $10 an hour (for one child) if your family is not already on the “full-time” plan.

Here are a few pictures from this past Friday, which had the theme of Crafts!
