Celebrating Catholic School’s Week!

/in /by

We are excited to Celebrate Catholic Schools Week next week!  A few reminders to our parents for planning purposes:

This Weekend (1/27 & 1/28)
Thank you to the families that signed up to help at our Parish Masses this weekend.  We will be in touch shortly with additional information.  For all other SJS students attending Mass this weekend, feel free to wear your SJS uniform so our parishioners can see all the wonderful students they help support!

On Monday (1/29)
We will begin our collection for the Little Sisters of the Poor. The Little Sisters of the Poor are a congregation of Roman Catholic religious women who care for the elderly poor (regardless of faith) with dignity and compassion until God calls them home.   Students are asked to bring in the following items beginning Monday of next week:

Pre-K: Baby Wipes
K: Pump Hand Soap
Gr. 1: Shampoo
Gr. 2: Boxes of Tissues
Gr. 3: Body Wash
Gr. 4: Mouth Wash
Gr. 5: Toilet Paper
Gr. 6: Lysol Spray
Gr. 7: Hand Lotion
Gr. 8: Body Lotion

We will also host our Prospective Family Open House Event for families interested in joining our K-8 program for the upcoming school year.  If you know of anyone interested in attending, please have them reach out to Amy Guenther at aguenther@saintjamesschool.net to RSVP (RSVP is required).

On Tuesday (1/30)
K – 8 students and staff will attend Mass at Saint James Church.  All SJS parents/grandparents are welcome to join us – please sit in the back three pews as our students fill most of the church.  Mass begins at 9:00am.

Also, all students will receive a POPSICLE treat in the afternoon.  If you do NOT want your student to receive one, please email their teacher.

On 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!

On Thursday (2/1)
Students may come to school with crazy hair (but no hair color please) and wear crazy hats and socks.  They should still wear their standard Thursday uniform with these fun accessories.

On Friday (2/2)
Blue & Gold Dress Down Day (or any color Saint James School Spiritwear t-shirts/sweatshirts may be worn).  Please note all standard dress down guidelines from the handbook apply.
