Kindergarten STEM Challenge
Today for their STEM/STREAM enrichment time, Mrs. Gangloff’s kindergarten students had to work in teams to build a Thanksgiving table that would hold all the food. Nice job Sabers!
HSA Meeting Tonight
The November HSA evening meeting will be held tonight (11/7) at 7:00pm in the cafeteria. Please park in the breezeway lot and ring the breezeway buzzer when you arrive.
A morning meeting will be held Friday (11/8) at 8am in the Saint James Church hall/basement (this will be a very informal meeting so please feel free to bring along small children).
We have lots of great events coming up and look forward to sharing details with you! Please attend whichever meeting best suits your schedule.
The HSA – which is similar to a PTA or PTO – is open to all Saint James School Pre-k through 8th Grade parents/ grandparents/guardians. There is no fee to join and no minimum time commitment required. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and help make great memories during our children’s years at Saint James School.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email our HSA president Jodi Talaga at jtalaga94@gmail.com.
We hope to see you there!
