Monster Magic in the Making! 🧌🎨💚

The monsters are back and better than ever! Yesterday, fourth graders saw their imaginative monster drawings brought to life by our high school art students through creative 3D and mixed-media designs. From goofy to spooky to totally one-of-a-kind, each creation showcased the talent and teamwork across grade levels.

This collaboration continues to be a favorite tradition, connecting students through creativity, mentorship, and a little monster mayhem along the way!

A big thank you to our high school art students and teachers, along with the 4th-grade team, for helping make it all happen! #ArtsInEducation #stjschools #tigerpride

The Final Chapter of an Incredible Opportunity at St. James High School! ❤️🐯🤍

Earlier this year, we shared how a business letter assignment in Mrs. Lorts’ class led to Elisa Bierman receiving a special care package of professional paint guns from Anest Iwata. Now, we get to share the final piece of the story.

Since then, Elisa has had the opportunity to tour Icon Aviation and learn more about the process of refurbishing private jets, giving her a firsthand look at the industry and the careers connected to her training. She also completed more than 400 hours in Collision Repair at Rolla Technical Institute under instructor Randy Clayton, spending time after school and during breaks to paint her personal truck using the new equipment she received!

This journey is a powerful example of what can happen when students are given opportunities to apply their skills beyond the classroom. This is the type of Future Focused learning we are proud to support at St. James R-1!
