A Few Fallish Reminders

Dear St. James Families,

What a week! The life of a school is built in the ordinary moments of each day, and this week reminded us how much we depend on one another. Though it was pretty normal week, we had quite a few teachers and students out sick and we had to rely on one another. So, as we head into the colder months, please help us take good care of yourselves and your little ones. Make sure they are getting enough rest and starting the day with a good breakfast. I know a couple of times when students came to the office and said they only had milk for breakfast, which may have contributed to symptoms similar to those we were seeing with illness. Breaking the fast and having something in the belly can make a difference!

On a happier note, morning drop-off has been going smoothly. Thank you for your patience and for helping us establish a good routine. We have made a couple of adjustments as we prepare for Winter weather. Also, Please do not pull into the alley before 7:30 a.m. Our teachers need access to their parking spaces before the school day begins. If you arrive earlier, please wait in the large parking lot.

Thank you for your cooperation and for the care you show one another. Next week, will be another normal week but we will be celebrating our Veterans on Wednesday at 2:30 in the gym. We look forward to having everyone back together, healthy, and enjoying regular routines! It's the little ordinary things we do each day that help us grow closer to Him.

Have a wonderful weekend,

In Gratitude.

Mr. McDonnell
