Summer School: Exploring Ecosystems at LWJE! 🐛💧🌿
Maramec Spring Park stopped by LWJE to teach students about the importance of clean, high-quality water in supporting healthy ecosystems. Students got an up-close look at dragonfly larvae in different stages of development and explored containers of local water to discover native aquatic species. It was a hands-on science experience that brought learning to life! #summerschool #stjschools #tigerpride

Mission Monday: A Sweet Sendoff from Kindergarten! ❤️🐯🤍
Ms. Maynard’s kindergarten class wrapped up the school year by giving back to our community! On the last day of school, they walked to the Blessing Box at Trinity Episcopal Church and filled it with food and everyday essentials for those in need.
This small act of kindness is a GREAT example of what happens when caring relationships and community partnerships come together. We’re proud to see the Heart of a Tiger shining bright in our students! #MissionMonday #caringrelationships #stjschools
On this Memorial Day, the St. James R-1 School District joins our community and the nation in remembering the brave women and men who gave all in defense of our freedoms.
Flying into Summer with Style! 🔴🐯🤍
Nothing says “hello, summer” like lunch served on a STJ Frisbee! Students across the district were treated to a meal with a twist, served up on bright red frisbees they got to take home.
At Lucy Wortham James Elementary, it added extra fun to Field Day yesterday, and at St. James Middle School and St. James R-1 High School, it was the perfect last day of school send-off.
Thank you to our hardworking St. James R-I School Nutrition team for serving the students in style! Every day is a GREAT day to be a Tiger!

🎉GREAT news from the LWJE Book Vending Machine! 🎉
All year long, LWJE Tigers have been celebrating birthdays (and half-birthdays for our summer students) by choosing a brand-new book to take home, thanks to our special book vending machine—a project especially close to the hearts of our amazing library staff.
We’re excited to share that Hartley’s Climate Control has generously donated enough to keep the machine fully stocked for the entire 2025–26 school year. That means every LWJE student will continue to grow their home library, one birthday book at a time!
Thanks to your generosity and partnership, GREAT things continue to happen here! ❤️🐯🤍

Thank you to the staff and students who helped roll out the red carpet! #caringrelationships #stjschools #tigerpride
