Dress Down Days Next Week
Next Week, students will have two dress down opportunities as follows:
Tuesday, March 17th: $1.00 St. Patrick’s Day/Green & White Dress Down. Funds collected will be used towards purchasing supplies for Brian Bags for the homeless.
Thursday, March 19th: Red shirts may be worn in honor of St. Joseph’s Day. This is tops only – students should still wear their uniform pants or skorts (we will be attending church on this day so all students should be in regular uniform bottoms).
Soccer Registration Information
It’s time to sign up for the 2020 Saint James Soccer season! Boys and girls in grades 3 through 8 are eligible to play. The season runs from early April through mid June. If your child is planning to participate, please click on the link below to read the detailed information from Coach Sargent. The sign-up form should be returned to the school office with the appropriate activity fee (make checks out to “Saint James School”) by March 27th. If your child has not previously participated in a sport at SJS this year, you will need to also submit the Athletics Health Form for 2019-2020 signed by your child’s doctor (see below).
Please note – we are in need of coaches, particularly for the younger grades (you do not have to have a child playing to coach). To volunteer or if you have any questions about the program, please contact volunteer coordinator Jon Sargent via telephone at 440-319-8892 or email: sjssoccer@charter.net.
