From the Capitol to the Classroom: A Visit from State Representative Tara J. Peters! ❤️🐯🤍
Today, Representative Peters visited St. James Middle School! She met with the ROX Group to discuss women in leadership and received a special tour from a few of our incredible members. Then, she stopped by Citizenship class to talk about government and how her role connects to their work in class.
Bringing real-world experiences into our schools helps students see the connections between learning and leadership. It’s just one more way GREAT things happen here! #communitypartnerships #stjschools #tigerpride

Tiger Highlight: Spreading Kindness at Lucy Wortham James Elementary School! ❤️🐯🤍
In February, LWJE students embraced the true meaning of kindness, spreading compassion through their actions every day. Our Word of the Month was KINDNESS, and our students showed just how powerful it can be!
Throughout each month, students across all grade levels will participate in engaging classroom challenges that encourage them to embody the “Word of the Month” in their daily lives. At the end of the month, each classroom teacher will select a student who has truly embraced the spirit of the word. These students will be recognized as "Students of the Month.”
Join us in celebrating the kindness of our LWJE Students of the Month for February! 👏 #Kindness #stjschools #tigerpride

Tiger Highlight: Tiger Cubs’ Parent Night = BIG fun + BIG learning!❤️🐯🏗️

Tiger Highlight: LWJE Singers Represent with Pride! 🎶🐯✨
On Saturday, 22 Tigers from our 4th and 5th grade Singers group took their talents to Dixon, MO, for the Elementary Honor Choir! They spent the day learning from a clinician from Nixa, collaborating with students from other schools, and bringing four beautiful songs to life in concert.
Experiences like this strengthen skills, build relationships, and create lasting memories—just one more way we empower students to learn and grow. GREAT things happen here!

Learning Highlight: Redefining Beauty with ROX! ❤️🐯🌟
Our 6th-grade ROX (Ruling Our eXperiences) girls have been diving into the idea of Redefining Beauty—focusing on the qualities that truly make someone beautiful, like kindness, confidence, and inner strength. As part of their learning, they created posters featuring the attributes they find most beautiful in themselves and others.
When girls define beauty on their own terms, they build the confidence to change the world! #caringrelationships #stjschools #tigerpride
