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!
This mentoring moment showed how older students can help build confidence, ease transitions, and create a sense of belonging through genuine connection. It is a clear example of how caring relationships empower students and strengthen our learning community! #MissionMakers #stjschools #tigerpride

Capturing the Story of a Building! 📷🐯❤️
St. James High School photography students explored Trinity Episcopal Church as their latest study in architectural design. They focused on the essentials that bring buildings to life through a lens, including lines, symmetry, texture, light, and perspective. It was a chance to practice seeing a familiar space the way a photographer does, noticing how every angle tells a different story.
One more way that Arts in Education enriches learning and inspires curiosity! #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride

2nd Grade Exploration at Earth’s Classroom! ❤️🐯🤍
Last week, 2nd-grade students visited Earth’s Classroom, where they learned about Missouri’s wild mammals and examined furs and skulls to see their unique adaptations up close. They also explored how Native American tribes used local resources through fire starting, home building, sign language, and twining activities.
This experience strengthened students’ Effective Communication skills as they listened closely, asked thoughtful questions, and shared what they learned with one another!
Thank you to our teachers for providing such a great learning experience!
