Tiger Highlight: Iron Tigers - Building Stronger Futures! ποΈββοΈπ―πͺ
Last week witnessed an incredible turnout at Iron Tigersβa before and after-school weightlifting and conditioning program. The mornings belong to the "Zombie Squad," with around 50 middle schoolers dedicating themselves from 6-7:30 AM. Additionally, the high school Iron Tigers program focuses on lifting and exercise after school from 3-4:30 PM, providing an opportunity for students not in PE classes. Coaches Jackson and Overton lead the morning sessions, while Coach Franks and Coach Karnes take charge of the afternoon groups.
Thank you to our Tiger coaches for providing our student-athletes with this invaluable platform to grow and thrive. Your dedication truly shapes the future of Tiger Athletics! #STJIronTigers #stjschools #tigerpride

Learning Never Stops: A Glimpse into Professional Development Day!πβ¨
Today was all about growth and learning for our educators at St. James R-1 School District! They kicked off the day with a self-care activity of their choice and spent time preparing their classrooms. Later, they participated in professional development sessions to sharpen their skills and nurture their passion for teaching.
Kudos to our teachers for being champions of lifelong learning! #TeacherTuesday #LifelongLearning #stjschools
