Congratulations to our 5 teams of seventh grade students who are heading on to the State Science Fair! Today Mrs. Plante hosted a congratulatory lunch/strategy session to share feedback from the local judges and talk strategy for the State competition, which will be held March 11-16th at Quinnipiac University. Good luck Sabers!
This coming Sunday, February 10th, there will be a fun celebration of Boys Basketball at SJS. Come join the fun as Boys 4th & 5th grade will take on the JV Boys 6th graders at 1:30 pm and our Two Varsity Boys teams – SJS Blue and Gold – will play at 2:30 pm. Immediately following boys basketball players and their families are welcome to stay for a party in the gym. Come cheer on our student athletes!
Yesterday was the 100th day of school! Check out these cute pictures our 1st and 2nd grade teachers took of the kids celebrating this milestone.

This Saturday, February 2nd, Saint James School will be hosting a “Drop-In” Open House at our Pre-K facility between the hours of 10:00am – 12:00pm. Please help us spread the word to any families you may know that may be interested.
Any current SJS families with a child that will be entering our Pre-K program next year are also welcome to attend.
Please note, we are expanding our Pre-K 3-year-old program beginning next year by adding a 5-day morning class and a 5-day full-day (8am – 2pm) class. Space for these additional pre-k3 programs is very limited and first preference will be given to current SJS families based on first-come basis (with completed 2019-2020 paperwork). Students must be fully potty trained (even through nap time) to attend our Pre-K3 and 4 programs.
Congratulations to the 1st & 2nd grade winners (and runners up) of the SJS 2019 Zaner-Bloser Handwriting contest! Our two first place winners will now have their beautiful penmanship submitted to the State competition (as you may recall, last year SJS had a State winner). Great job SABERS!!
Grade 1: Mary Pescosolido – 1st Place; Ellery Ernstrom – runner up
Grade 2: Brandon Zyskowski – 1st Place; Madelyne Smith – runner up
Just a reminder that on days when we have a two hour delay, there is no before-school care. Students cannot be dropped off anytime before 9:30am and must be here by 9:55am for the final bell.

Last night, our JV boys (6th grade) basketball team was the halftime entertainment at the CCSU women’s game – playing a short scrimmage in front of a crowd of cheering CCSU fans. Our kids loved the experience – with some even winning prizes in shooting contests held between quarters.
Special thanks to our JV Coach – Eric Kincheloe – for setting up this amazing opportunity for his team and for sending us the pictures below.
