Celebrating LWJE’s Students of the Month! 🐾📚🌟
Each month, Lucy Wortham James Elementary highlights a different character trait and recognizes students who bring it to life in their classrooms.
October’s trait was CREATIVE THINKER, and Tigers have been showing off their imagination, problem-solving, and original ideas.
At the end of the month, each teacher selected one student who truly embodied this trait. Together, these Tigers are LWJE’s October Students of the Month!

Business Tech Students Explore Careers at St. James High School! ✍️🐯📚
Business Tech students started their career unit by taking the True Color Personality Test.
