Eighth grade science students are working on being able to define the relationship between mass, speed, and energy. They spent the day working collaborative to test weights and gather data so they could plot trends and explain those relationships. How fun is this? When we create opportunities for students to think critically, we put them on the road to deep and transfer learning that will last a lifetime.
On Thursday, we were pleased to recognize three students who were nominated by their teachers for the Fort Leonardwood Army Value award for respect - demonstrating equal self-respect and respect for others, creating increased morale and positive outcomes for those around them. Nominees were Cason Smith and Alice Pearson, and the award was presented to Justise Jercick.
We are so proud of these students!

Just a normal week at St. James Middle School - high levels of learning and engagement! We are committed to providing our students with high-quality experiences that prepare them for the future!
The football team played a tough one against St. Clair tonight. Their 3-game winning streak came to an end in a 36-0 loss against the Bulldogs.
Learn from this one, Tigers, and be ready to get back at it next week!
Our cross country team ran a tough meet today in Hermann. This course is brutal.
Tara finished 3rd in the girls race 🥉
Only a few meets left for the season!
Every year, St. James partners with Owensville to host day time events so all students have the opportunity to be a part of a ball game. The girls game was hosted by Owensville this year, and they both earned wins! It was a nail biter for sure!
Our cheerleaders brought the spirit, too!

Making Connections! Mrs. Hicks' 6th grade students worked on a get-to-know-you activity the first few weeks of school. Last week, they took those pieces and connect the entire grade together by interests! What a great way to show that, while we are all different, we still share interests and goals in life that we can work on together!
That's a winner! The Middle School Tiger Football team defeats Hermann in double overtime 28-22!
This week in Careers class, students are working on learning the job skills needed in our world today. Students practiced their Interpersonal skills with a game that encouraged them to work together respectfully to solve a challenge! We are working hard to prepare our students to meet the high standards of our Portrait of a Graduate, including being "Future Focused."
Our football team traveled to Pacific this evening to face the Indians. They came up short 30-18, but they fought until the end!
🏃♀️🏃♂️We have a few medalists from our first meet in Vienna this evening. 8th grader Tara Murphy wins the girls' meet 🏆 and 7th grader Cason Smith finishes 19th 🏅 for the boys!
All of our runners did a great job, and we are proud of their grit!
And our runners are on their way to their first meet of the year! Wish them luck!
Our 7th graders got to experience microscopes in science class today. Ms. McClure set the foundation for proper usage and allowed students to study the properties of different objects, like torn paper, hair follicles, and fingerprints. Students asked questions, observed at different magnifications, and recorded their findings. Keeping students curious helps them think critically, which is exactly what great scientists need to be able to do!
