Thank you to all the UCONN student volunteers who brought the Junior Achievement program to Saint James School today.
Through Junior Achievement, our K-8th grade students spend an entire day working on basic concepts of business and economics at an age-appropriate level. Each grade has a specific “curriculum” the facilitators present in addition to bringing their own real-life experiences into the discussion.
It’s a fun day that ties in concepts like money management, good communication skills, and entrepreneurship as well as economic concepts and facts about the working world.
Below are pictures from several of the classrooms (Click to enlarge):
Tomorrow (Friday) Saint James School will host the Junior Achievement Program for our students so there will be no gym classes. All students should wear their regular uniform to school tomorrow.
There are still spaces available for Mother/Daughter Tea. Attached below is a copy of the invitation. Please note, the event will take place at the Assumption Church Hall this year. RSVPs are due Monday, April 23.
On Saturday, April 28th from 11am-1pm join fellow Saint James School Fathers, Sons and Special People (male) at Dave & Buster’s in Manchester for a fun day of games! RSVP and order forms can be found here: RSVP form & order form. All attendees will receive complimentary coffee, tea, juice and soda courtesy of the HSA. All responses are due by Friday (4/20). Any questions or concerns, please contact Christine Strickland at christinepesola@hotmail.com or call/text 914-582-7869.
If you purchased tickets to the Yard Goats game this Sunday, your tickets will be sent home today or tomorrow with your child. Please look for a brightly colored envelope in your child’s take-home folder. Please contact Tabitha Post (tpost77@att.net) with any questions.
Saint James Soccer practice will be held this evening – Wednesday, April 18 – at Charter Oak Park Field. Practice for 3rd, 4th and 5th grades will run from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm. Practice for 6th, 7th and 8th grades will run from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm. We realize that practice will conflict with the art show.

If you are not familiar with the area, Charter Oak Park is located across from the former Carter Chevrolet, at the intersection of Main Street and Charter Oak Street. Parking is available in the South United Methodist Church/ Manchester Chamber of Commerce parking lot (entrance to lot is located on Hartford Road). Please use the crosswalk to cross the intersection (there is a “walk” button that can be used to stop traffic). Parents are asked to accompany their child across the street as it is a very busy intersection.
Please be sure players wear proper shoes, shin guards, and bring an appropriate size soccer ball and a water bottle. Please put your child’s name on the ball and water bottle.
Also, please remember students must have returned their Character Contract (pledging good sportsmanship) before they can play in any soccer games. Students who have already participated in a sport this year at SJS do not need to submit a new contract.
