There will be a special Lenten Prayer Service in Mrs. Grondin’s Middle School classroom tomorrow morning, Friday, March 6th, at 7:30am.  Please encourage your student(s) to join us.

To further participate in service during this period of Lent, Mrs. LaMarche (2nd grade teacher) and other members of our school board’s Catholic Identity Committee have put together a service project for students in grades 5-8 to participate in.  Interested students will be making special Brian Bags (see picture), which will be filled with personal care items and snacks, and will be handed out to people in need in the community.

Interested students must be available to meet after school until 3:45pm on the following dates:

March 10
March 17
March 24
Pick-up will take place at the Saint James Church Hall and service hour credit will be provided for participating 7th and 8th grade students.

If your child (grade 5 – 8) is interested in helping, please complete the permission slip below and return it to the SJS main office by this Friday, March 6th.

The committee will also would gladly accept donations of sturdy material to make the bags, e.g., denims, corduroy, canvas, etc. and if any SJS parents are available to help on Tuesday afternoons, the extra hands would be most welcome!

** We are in need of a second CHURCH LIAISON to assist our students who will be reading at the various Masses during the 2020-2021 school year.  Mrs. Modugno will be spearheading this effort for us (as she is doing this year), but we need a second helper that can assist her during school hours once or twice a month.  If you are able to help, please reach out to Mrs. Zorger as soon as possible.

The Saint James Girls Varsity Basketball team will play St. Mary’s tonight in the Deanery Championship game tonight at Corpus Christi in Wethersfield at 6:00pm.  Everyone is welcome to come cheer on our Sabers!

In related news, our JV Boys lost a hard fought deanery championship game to St. Mary’s JV boys last night at Northwest Catholic. It was a back and forth game and our boys erased deficits to take the lead multiple times throughout the game. The boys ultimately fell short by 3 points but they had a great run to the championship game and they are now on to compete in the State tournament.
