ROX Program Grows in St. James R-1! 💪🐯🩷
St. James R-1 is growing the ROX (Ruling Our eXperiences) program! Last year, a small group of 6th-grade girls at St. James Middle School participated in this powerful initiative, building leadership skills, strengthening communication, and learning strategies to navigate life’s challenges.
Over the summer, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Wilson, and Mrs. Giacolone completed ROX training, which means we can now expand the program to reach even more students across the district. We will have groups in all three buildings this year! The lessons learned through ROX don’t just benefit individual students; they create a ripple effect that strengthens our entire school community! #caringrelationships #stjschools #tigerpride
Exploring the Senses in 4th Grade! 👃🔍👁️
Ms. Frisbee’s 4th graders explored all five senses during ELA with a tasty twist! They tried fresh mango sprinkled with a little Tajín, capturing every reaction on video. Students will later use their real-time responses to write paragraphs and dialogue, turning their sensory experience into writing. #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride
