Thank you for supporting this worthwhile cause.
Today, as part of Catholic Schools’ Week, our Kindergarten through grade 8 students attended Mass at Saint James Church to celebrate and honor the countless volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to our school.
While only a small percentage of volunteers were able to be with us in person today, Father Cavanaugh and Mrs. Zorger both took the opportunity to remind students about the value of giving back to the community. We are very blessed at Saint James School to have so many volunteers that make a difference in the lives of our students and to our school community as a whole.
The 6th grade JV girls had another great game this past Saturday, beating St. Thomas by a wide margin. Congratulations to Samantha K for contributing 6 points; Makayla and Madigan for each scoring 5; Taylor, Gabby, and Nina had 4 points each; and Clara and Anya had 2 points each. The girls worked on passing and cutting and played phenomenal defense. Great job Sabers!
