Please join us this evening  – Tuesday, October 23rd – at 6:30pm in the school gym as Saint James School presents our 2018 State of the School Address. During this annual, informational meeting Mrs. Zorger will share information on how our school is performing in critical areas such as enrollment, finances, and academics as well as current major initiatives, upcoming initiatives, and more.  We encourage all SJS parents to come be part of this informative evening.

In addition, our guest speaker this year will be Nick Roy, a Certified Financial Planner, who will discuss benefits and strategies of using 529 savings plans for education.

Hope to see you there!

Spooky fun things are happening in the SJS library!  Today Mrs. Gangloff’s Kindergarten class listened to the story Bats in the Library and were so excited to decorate their own bat to bring home.  Thank you to Mrs. Carpenter for the cute pictures!  And, remember to keep reading!  The Fall Into Reading Contest for grades K – 6 ends November 5th!

A huge thank you to the three SJS parents who helped facilitate transportation of students to and from the Cathedral of Saint Joseph yesterday (Thursday, October 18th) for the Ordination of The Most Reverend Juan Miguel Betancourt as the Auxiliary Bishop of Hartford.  The Ordination Mass is a very beautiful and unique ceremony  and Saint James School was honored to be a part of the celebration.  Pictured below is SJS Principal, Mrs. Zorger, with (l to r) 8th grade student Ben Post, 6th grade Michael Machewirth, and 4th grade student Ford King in the Cathedral.
