This week Saint James School has joined our peers from across the region in celebrating the many benefits of Catholic education. Each day we have been highlighting one of the many pieces that we feel makes Saint James School an exceptional choice for today’s learners! Thank you for taking this journey of reflection with us. Today be put the final piece in our puzzle on why we love our Catholic School:
Day 5: Service to Others
Catholic schools are faith-filled communities that focus on a Christian way of life. Service activities play an important role in the development of students’ character by helping them step outside their comfort zone, learn new skills, and gain a better understanding of the communities in which they live. Service activities raise social awareness and builds a mindset of helping others – whether that be in the classroom, on the playground, or in students’ hometown communities.
At Saint James School our students regularly participate in service programs: making cards for nursing homes, $1 dress down days (with proceeds donated to a specific charity), food drives, making “Brian Bags” for the homeless, and assisting with other school-sponsored activities. Older students have a service component as part of their religion grade and will seek out opportunities within the community that interest them to fulfill this requirement.
From the President of the Consortium of Elementary Catholic Schools
Come and join the fun in the celebration of our two Catholic elementary schools on Thanksgiving Day! If you will be attending the road race, check out our new tent on the front lawn of Saint James Church, show your school spirit, receive a gift (while supplies last), and enjoy time together with family and friends. Our goal is simply to remind people of our two excellent schools and all they offer to the Manchester community and the surrounding towns. Hope to see you there!

Crosswalk Caution
Please take extra caution when using the crosswalk in front of the school – or perhaps walk next to it (instead of on it) when crossing the road. It appears they have recently painted the white lines, as we have noticed they are extremely slippery when the air is damp or cold.
Please share this message with anyone that picks up or drops off your child/ren.
