All students, faculty, staff, parents and other guests of our students are invited to join us in Ms. Oleasz’s room (top floor, B207) for our final Lenten Prayer Service this Friday morning from 7:30am – 8:00am. We hope you will take the time and/or encourage your child/ren to join us in prayers for family, friends, peace and other special intentions. We look forward to seeing you there!
March Aftercare Statements will be available from Ms. Jean this afternoon. Please be sure to pick yours up at your earliest convenience.
Please note, our 3rd & 4th Grade after-school STEM Club is now full.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Munson’s fundraiser. We sold nearly 1500 items and raised $2875.00!
Orders will be available this afternoon Wednesday, April 3 during afternoon pick-up on the stage in the school gym.
If your child attends aftercare, you can pick up your order in the cafeteria this afternoon.
Soccer Practice will start tonight for select grades of students who are FULLY REGISTERED to participate (sports fee paid, paperwork completed, and doctor-completed sports form on file with the school). Please check with the coach to make sure your student is not missing anything when arriving at the field tonight.
Practice is at Charter Oak Park Soccer Fields (corner of Main Street and Charter Oak Streets in Manchester).

Grades 6 & 8: 6:00pm – 7:30pm
There will be no practice for the 7th grade this evening.
Please note, we are still in need of coaches and assistant coaches for the 3rd/4th & 5th grade teams. If you are able to help, please reach out to our volunteer coordinator (and parent of two SJS graduates) Jon Sargent at sjssoccer@charter.net or Mr. Green at cgreen@saintjamesschool.net. Previous soccer experience is not needed to be a coach but you will need to complete the background check and VIRTUS training.

A few spots still remain if your child would like to participate!
An afternoon STEM Club has been scheduled for Monday, April 8 for students in 3rd and 4th grade. During this session, the robots will be getting ready for Easter! Please see the attached form for details and sign-up information.
The Family Game Night scheduled for Friday evening has been canceled. We apologize to the families that had signed up to attend.
During this Lenten season, we would like to take the opportunity to offer our families some ideas that can help spark conversations and strengthen the spirituality of your household.
Each week of Lent, we are offering a Scripture passage, Lenten quotation, or prayer activity for your family to share together. We hope these suggestions will enrich your family’s journey through Lent, ending in a more blessed and joyful Easter.
FAMILY PRAYER
Here is a Lenten Prayer from Pope Francis: http://www.allsaintspress.com/images/products/3051.jpg
For a Living Lent activity this week, work together to write a Lenten prayer that is meaningful to your family. Try to pray it together each day this week, or even for the remainder of Lent. You could decorate and hang it on your fridge!
