Twice a year our school hosts the full slate of the league’s JV basketball games.  As such we are responsible to run the Scoreboard and Score book and handle Breezeway door entrance fee throughout the day.  The monies collected for the door goes a long way towards helping keep our Basketball player fee’s down and mitigate end of the year party expenses.

Our Boys JV team kicks off the games at 9 am and our Girls JV team has the last game at 3 pm.  There are 7 games in total.  We are hoping our Varsity Boys and Girls can sign up to run the clock and scorebook and then get Parents to volunteer to run the door and we will be selling  bottled water.

The link below will be used to help organize the volunteers.  Kids that volunteer will be credited for service hours so perhaps they can pair up with a school mate and help out for an hour or two. We only take a door fee for 2 dates throughout the year at Saint James so please take a look at this link if you can volunteer.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Please be sure to check the lost and found table in the breezeway if you have not already done so and your child is missing something.  All items left will be sent to the uniform closet or donated after break.

 

St. Mary’s has sent us a written request that SJS families no longer use their lot for parking.  They will also be putting out signs.  Please don’t hesitate to use the SJS staff lot between the Pre-K and Big School at afternoon pick-up or the St. James Church lot is always available with plenty of parking spots.

Saint James School is looking for a couple of parents and students who would be willing to travel to Prospect, Connecticut in January to record commercials/testimonials on behalf of Saint James School for the Archdiocese of Hartford’s radio station WJMJ (88.9 FM – Hartford).  The spots will air (at no cost to us) throughout the latter half of January, during Catholic School’s Week.

Volunteers are encouraged to share a specific and compelling story that expresses why SJS is special to them.  It can be prepared ahead of time and simply read on-air when you get to the studio.   Click below to listen to our testimonials from last year.

Commercial 1:  Alejandra & Kaitlyn

Commercial 2: Rishi & William

If you are willing to participate or have your child participate in this exciting experience, please e-mail Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net by the end of the week for additional details. Parents will need to provide transportation for their child(ren) to the studio and arrange for missed school work.

As always, we appreciate any help you can provide in spreading the good news about Saint James School!
