Saint James School is looking for a couple of parents and/or students who would be willing to travel to Prospect, Connecticut this coming Tuesday (around lunchtime) 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 throughout the latter half of January.

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 HERE to listen to our testimonials from last year.

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 tomorrow afternoon. Parents will need to provide transportation for their child(ren) to the studio and arrange for missed school work.

There will be a school-wide (K-8) Mass this Friday, December 23rd at Saint James Church starting at 9:15am.  Parents, grandparents, etc. are welcome to join us.  Students in grades 1-8 should wear their regular uniform to school.

The Christmas Store returns to the Saint James School Gym this Wednesday (12/14) for one day only!  Please remember to send your child with cash on Wednesday if you would like them to make purchases at the Christmas Store.  Please see THIS FLYER for additional details.

Many volunteers are needed to make the day a success.  Help is needed early morning to set-up and throughout the school day while students shop.  If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Christine Pesola-Strickland at christinepesola@hotmail.com.

As a reminder, this Friday, 12/9,  is a 12:05pm dismissal day.  Aftercare will NOT be in session on this day so please make sure you have made arrangements for your child(ren) to be picked up promptly at 12:05pm.
