Holiday Superlatives, Admin Edition! 🎄🧑🎄🥁
Our district administrative team paused during today’s planning meeting for some festive fun as peers voted on which holiday characters we most resemble. It turns out nothing brings out teamwork quite like discovering who is Santa, who channels Buddy the Elf, and who is as sweet as the Sugar Plum Fairy!
Even in fun moments like this, we’re practicing the same skills we hope our students grow every day, from Effective Communication to Critical Thinking! #PortraitofaGraduate #stjschools #tigerpride
Mentors, Magic, and Santa Mail! 🧑🎄📝🎄
Ms. Wisdom’s fifth graders brought some holiday cheer when they visited first graders in Ms. Perkins and Miss Halbert’s class to help with letters to Santa! The older students jumped right into their mentoring role, guiding ideas and cheering on their younger buddies.
It was a simple moment that showed Effective Communication growing in both grades as they worked together! #stjschools #tigerpride

🌟Perseverance Pays Off: LWJE November Students of the Month! 🌟
At Lucy Wortham James Elementary, students focused on PERSEVERANCE as the Word of the Month, learning what it means to keep going, even when things get tough.
Each month, classrooms take on challenges that help students put the Word of the Month into practice. At the end of the month, teachers select a student who has truly shown the word in action. These students are celebrated as "Students of the Month!"
Congratulations to LWJE November Students of the Month! #perseverance #tigerpride #stjschools

Mission Monday: Mentors Make the Difference! ❤️🐯🤍
High school Agriculture students visited the middle school Ag classes and spent time talking, answering questions, and encouraging younger learners who are beginning their own Ag journey!
