On Thursday, December 12th, students may wear “comfy” clothes (sweatpants, sweatshirts, t-shirts) to school for a minimum $1.00 donation.  All money collected will benefit the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.  Participating students must bring their donation to school with them on December 12th and give it to their homeroom teacher.  Should you wish to give an additional donation, you may do so using the QR code or link in the below flyer.

CCMC’s annual PJ day, which many schools and businesses across the state participate in, helps to raise money for a great cause while honoring all of the brave kids fighting cancer at CCMC and elsewhere.

Please remember, students must adhere to all Saint James School dress down guidelines (noted in the school handbook). Also, no slippers due to safety concerns.

Saint James School is excited to once again offer the iCook Cooking Club after school on Mondays in January through mid-March.  Please view the flyer HERE.  Payment and RSVP is all done online through THIS LINK.  Space is limited and we must have minimum participation of 12 students for the club to run.
