Mrs. Zorger would like to remind parents that all SJS students, including our Middle School students, do have a defined time to have a healthy snack and drink each morning. For students in grades 1 – 8, snack must consist of fruits or veggies and a water bottle.
Please be advised, our 1st & 2nd grade Book & Art Club for April is full.
Are your students looking for additional fun, after-school activities with friends? Why not have them attend the Friday afternoon activities at our school’s Aftercare program?
Each Friday is a different themed activity that students of all ages can enjoy! (Families must be registered with the Aftercare program before their student(s) can participate.)
This Friday, 4/5, will be Building Fun and Barbies
Friday, 4/12, Easter BINGO!
Friday, 4/19 – NO SCHOOL
Friday, 4/26 – Craft Day
Any questions, please reach out to Ms. Jean at jburdick@saintjamesschool.net. The hourly Aftercare charge is just $10 an hour (for one child) if your family is not already on the “full-time” plan. You can still register for aftercare if you would like your child to attend.
Please find attached the April Saber Stories and April HSA Newsletter.
If you would like your child to receive a yearbook at the end of the school year, TOMORROW (Tuesday 4/1) is the deadline to order (Grades Pre-K through 7th only…all 8th grade students will automatically receive one).
We still have tickets available for this fun, SJS family event! Please consider inviting your family and friends to join you!
When: Sunday, April 28 at 1:00pm at Dunkin’ Donuts Park.
Special Perks: SJS families will be displaying the Big Flag in center field during the National Anthem & children can run the bases after the game.
Tickets: Please see the order form (click here) for additional information and contact Tabitha Post at tpost77@att.net with any questions.
Please note the following Mass changes, effective today until further notice, as a result of the re-roofing project now underway at Saint James Church:
* Daily Mass (Monday-Friday) will be held at Assumption Church until further notice. Therefore, SJS 5th graders will not be attending Monday Mass during construction.
* The Friday 1:00pm Stations of the Cross has been moved to Assumption Church for the remainder of Lent (Grades K-8 – with the exception of 5th – have already attended a session of Stations of the Cross during the past few weeks).
* Our school-wide Mass on April 25th WILL be at Saint James Church (construction will be paused during our school Mass).
* Weekend Masses will continue to be held at Saint James Church according to the normal schedule (as no construction will take place on the weekends at this point).
SJS soccer practices will begin this coming Wednesday, April 3rd, (weather permitting), however we are still in need of coaches for the 3rd/4th & 5th grade teams. Previous soccer experience is not needed to be a coach.
As with years past, practices will be Wednesday evenings with games on Saturdays. 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.
As with years past, practices are held at the Manchester’s Charter Oak Park Soccer Field. Students fully registered to participate (sports fee paid, paperwork completed, and doctor-completed sports form on file) will practice as follows:
Grades 3 – 5: 5:00pm – 6:30pm
Grades 6 – 8: 6:00pm – 7:30pm
