Last Call: 2024 Soccer Sign Ups

It’s time to sign up for the SJS 2024 Soccer Season.  Students in grades 3 – 8 are eligible to participate and no previous soccer experience is required.

Saint James 2024 Soccer Sign Up Info

Parent volunteers are needed to coach and assist with the teams (no experience needed).  We cannot run this program without your help!  If you have any questions about coaching, please contact Mr. Green at cgreen@saintjamesschool.net.

Please note that students will need the 2023-2024 Athletics Health Permission Form completed and signed by their doctor in order to participate.  While this health form must be on file with the school before your child can participate in any practices or games, if there is a delay in receiving it back from the pediatrician by the deadline, please still submit the Soccer sign-up form and payment by the March 20th deadline.

Middle School Dance Rescheduled

We are excited to share that our Girls Varsity Basketball team has advanced in the Archdiocesan State Tournament! Their next game is scheduled for this Friday, March 15, at 7:15 at East Catholic High School. In addition, the St. Bridget Boys JV basketball team has advanced in the state tournament. Their next game is also this Friday, March 15 at 6:00 at East Catholic High School.

Since this conflicts with the dance scheduled for Friday for many of our basketball players (and friends who would like to attend the games to support them) we have decided to reschedule the middle school dance to Friday, April 19th. Please mark your calendars!
