Play Like A Champion Virtual Summer Camp

With youth sports interrupted across America and many summer camps shut down, the Archdiocese of Hartford has shared this with us and we wanted to pass it along.  Play Like a Champion is offering kids of all ages a chance to get moving and learn new skills. Their new, free Virtual Summer Camp will take place from June 1-19, 2020 providing kids 3 weeks of fun and activity from the comfort of their own home. The camp will feature coaches from Play Like a Champion partners leading kids in both rigorous exercise and sport-specific drills, as well as daily character development and fun!  To learn more, click here.

Spirit Day Tomorrow

Since tomorrow we will be hosting our virtual art show (showing off students’ beautiful artwork from earlier in the year) for our weekly Wednesday Spirit Day tomorrow we are asking students to dress “artsy” – bright colors, colorful hair, tie-dye, or fun mismatched clothing – have your child express their inner artist!  If your child would like to participate, please send pictures to aguenther@saintjamesschool.net by 1:00pm tomorrow afternoon.

Rosary Thank You

Thank you everyone who participated in our live virtual Rosary yesterday and to everyone who sent in special intentions.  Special thanks to 8th graders Marion Patsalides, Michael Creamer, Carson Herr, and David LaMonica, and Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Vassallo, for each leading a decade of the Rosary for us.  It was nice to “see” so many families from our school community and to have an opportunity to pray together.

Today! SJS Live Rosary @ 4pm

Saint James School will host a live Rosary for school families over Zoom this afternoon at 4:00pm.

If your family would like to join us for this, please respond using the link below and we will email you the Zoom call information. You can also add special intentions for us to pray for during the Rosary using this form.
