Box Tops Winners!
Congratulations to our Kindergarten classes for winning of our November/December Box Tops Dress Down with a total of 595 Box Tops! The students counted a total of 2,457 Box Tops yesterday, which equates to almost $250 for our school! Thank you for everyone who sent in Box Tops. Please keep collecting paper box tops and using the App for Digital Box Tops to keep earning money for our school.
We will be counting box tops again in January.
Reminder: NED Show Tomorrow (Grades K-5)
We are welcoming a fun, inspiring assembly this Wednesday (October 30) to our school for our Kindergarten to Grade 5 students. The students have enjoyed participating in the NED shows the past couple years here at Saint James School. This year’s theme is “Mindset Mission”. We do not have to pay for this assembly to come to Saint James, instead they use a “pay it forward” model. They use the profit from our sales to help bring the show to another school. Please review the attached flyer to see the details of the sale to support this program.
Nov. Book & Art Club Grades 1 & 2
The November Book & Art Club for students in grades 1 & 2 will be held after school on November 12th. If your student would like to attend, please RSVP using the permission slip below.
Box Tops
Box Tops for the next Dress Down contest will be counted after school on October 29th. If you have not already done so, please be sure to send your box tops in labeled with your child’s name and homeroom teacher tomorrow morning.
Cross Country Important Note
SJS Cross Country runners who will be competing in at the State Championship meet this weekend have practice tomorrow after school. Mrs. O’Neill is hoping to have the kids run the course at Wickham Park, in preparation for Saturday’s event but is in need of a few parent drivers to help transport students from SJS to Wickham to make this happen. If you are available to help, please meet Mrs. O’Neill in the GYM at dismissal tomorrow.
Important Reminders for Tomorrow (Friday)
As a reminder, grandparents and special guests coming to the school on Friday for our students in Kindergarten – 5th grade are asked to enter via the GYM. The doors will open at 9:45am.
Please remember to tell your visitor(s) which teacher(s) your child/ren have so that our volunteers can easily direct them to the correct classrooms following the assembly.
While guests will only be visiting our K-5th students/classrooms, Middle school students can be dismissed anytime after 11:30am tomorrow to leave with a grandparent (or special guest) visiting a younger sibling, however a note must be sent to the teacher on Friday morning regarding the special dismissal.
Also, please note:
All students should come in regular uniform on Friday (no gym uniforms). There are no gym classes being held tomorrow.
Dismissal will be OUTSIDE in the Pre-K parking lot for students leaving at 12:05pm on Friday.
Drop Off Thank You
Mrs. Zorger would like to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone for doing their part to help make our morning drop-off run smoothly and ensuring a safe arrival for all our students.
As a reminder, we really want to keep that “Drop and Go” area moving along, so if your child is not fully ready to get out of the car when you reach the school, please keep going and park in the Pre-K lot until they are ready.
Also, please be sure to pull ALL THE WAY UP so that we can accommodate as many cars as possible along that curb.
Advanced Band Notice
Advanced Band will preform tomorrow for grandparents’ and special persons’ day. Please be sure your student comes to school with their instrument tomorrow and in their regular school uniform (no gym uniforms should be worn tomorrow).
