Lucy Wortham James Elementary students spent the day showing appreciation for our nation’s veterans through creativity and kindness.

A day that showcased the power of student leadership and community! #VeteransDay #stjschools #tigerpride

St. James High School FCCLA students recently showcased their talents during the Show-Me Skills events at their Leadership Conference! Maria Prawitz earned 1st place in Culinary Knife Skills, and Madison Shields placed 3rd in Photography.
FCCLA empowers students through personal growth, family and community involvement, and preparation for adult life. The Show-Me Skills competition gave our Tigers the chance to demonstrate the real-world knowledge and abilities they’ve developed through Family and Consumer Sciences coursework and activities. Great job, Tigers! #stjschools #tigerpride




Third graders visited the library for a lesson that connected science and reading in a big way! After reading “Give Me Back My Bones” by Kim Norman, students explored human anatomy using Merge Cubes and iPads. Through their iPad screens, students saw 3D models of the human body appear in the room around them, giving them a hands-on way to explore and interact with what they’ve been learning.
Library experiences like this demonstrate Effective Communication, providing students with opportunities to connect ideas, share discoveries, and make learning come alive through collaboration and technology. #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride










Last week, St. James FFA students represented our district at the FFA National Convention in Indianapolis! They had hands-on learning experiences, from exploring heavy equipment at Caterpillar to visiting Fair Oaks dairy and pork farm to see animal reproduction and robotic milking in action.
