Saint James School Art Show

Since we can’t be together in person today for our annual SJS Art Show, Mrs. Rafferty and Ms. Boutot have put together a Virtual Art Show for your family to watch from home.  We hope you enjoy seeing all the beautiful works of art our students have done throughout the year.

Artsy Dress Up Day

Masks and Sanitizer Giveaway Today

Need a mask or some hand sanitizer? There’s a giveaway being held at Bennet Academy (1151 Main St, Manchester, CT 06040) today from noon to 2 p.m.

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.
