Free Soccer Clinic at ECHS (Ages 7-14)

The Girls Varsity Soccer Coach at East Catholic High School, Ken Goodale, is offering a free 6-week soccer clinic for students aged 7 – 14.  Please scan the QR code on the attached flyer if you would like additional details and to register.  Space is limited.  This is a great precursor to our upcoming soccer season (which beings in late March/early April).

Returning Family Registration Update

Please note that our new student management system is not quite ready yet, so we are looking at early next week to begin the process of registering for the Fall 2024.  As previously noted, the new system is going to be through FACTS (the same company that processes our tuition).  We are hoping to have everything ready early next week and will keep families posted.  As always, registration questions can be directed to Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net or via phone at menu option 5.

Tonight –  Wednesday (1/31)
All families are invited to join us as our girls and boys Varsity teams play St. Bridget at EAST CATHOLIC High School.  There is plenty of seating at the ECHS gymnasium so we are hoping to see many SJS faces at the game to cheer on the players!  Girls play at 6:00pm, followed by the boys at 7:15pm.  Our cheerleaders will also be cheering.  We hope to see lots of Saber fans there!
