At St. James R-1 School District, we are dedicated to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for our students. The Jumpstart Tigers program at Lucy Wortham James Elementary exemplifies this commitment.
Led by a group of elementary educators, Jumpstart Tigers is more than just a morning routine. It provides a therapeutic experience that helps students start their day feeling safe and cared for. Through activities such as hair care sessions, the program builds trust and fosters a sense of community, with a strong focus on trauma-informed care.
The program's impact is evident in the positive interactions and smiles shared between students and staff. It’s a powerful example of how simple gestures can create meaningful connections and support.
We invite you to watch our latest video to see how Jumpstart Tigers is making a difference in our students' lives.
Thank you to our dedicated staff for their invaluable contributions to this impactful program that empowers our students every morning.
