Tomorrow: $1.00 “Rock Your Socks” Day

Saint James School is pleased to share that our school library has been gifted several books about Down Syndrome by the Down Syndrome Association of Connecticut.  Their book donation program is designed to better educate local children about Down Syndrome and help raise awareness.  Mrs. Tierney will be sharing age-appropriate information and stories with her classes next week during their library.  SJS was nominated to receive the book donation by the Hanson family, whose oldest daughter Abigail attends our middle school.

To support the organization that gifted us the books and help them further their mission, we would like to invite all students and staff to wear ‘Mismatched Socks’ to school tomorrow – Tuesday, March 21st – for a minimum $1.00 donation.  Money collected will be donated to the Down Syndrome Association of Connecticut.
