Middle school students in Mrs. Watson's history class recently took part in an exciting team-building activity focused on material culture, exploring how clothing reflects different societies.

By supporting literacy and building strong community partnerships, our students gain a sense of pride and purpose in making a positive impact. Be sure to stop by the book sale and support our local library! #communitypartnerships #stjschools #tigerpride
Learning Highlight: Expect the Unexpected in 5th Grade Science! 🔎🐯🔬
5th-grade scientists explored chemical reactions in a hands-on experiment using hydrogen peroxide and yeast. First, they measured the starting temperature of the hydrogen peroxide. Then, they added yeast, stirred the mixture, and measured the temperature again to see what had changed. Students made predictions, observed reactions, and repeated the process three times to compare results.
A GREAT way to bring science to life! #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigepride

The "Leading the Tiger Way" teacher and staff of the month program is designed to spotlight one teacher and one classified staff from each building every month. We want to recognize our most dedicated and talented employees. This program allows each staff member an opportunity to nominate a peer who exemplifies the character and professional traits we strive for as a District. #TeacherTuesday #leadingthetigerway #stjschools #tigerpride
Learning Highlight: Cracking the Berlin Wall Escape! ❤️🐯🤍
Students at St. James R-1 High School recently took on the role of codebreakers in American History class. Working together in teams, students solved a series of clues related to the construction of the Berlin Wall and the daring escape attempts that followed. Each clue brought them one step closer to "escaping" the classroom scenario, reinforcing their understanding of this key moment in global history.
Hands-on, collaborative learning like this helps bring the past to life—proving once again that GREAT things happen here. #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride
Happy National Library Week!

🌟 Tiger Highlight: Celebrating Courage at Lucy Wortham James Elementary! 🌟
In March, LWJE students rose to the challenge and acted with courage. Whether it was standing up for what's right, trying something new, or pushing through a tough moment, bravery was on full display. March's Word of the Month was COURAGE!
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 LWJE March Students of the Month—recognized for showing what real courage looks like every single day. 👏 #Courage #stjschools #tigerpride
Tiger Highlight: Read Run Serve in Action at James Memorial Public Library! ❤️🐯📚
Earlier this week, Read Run Serve students went above and beyond by donating books to the Friends of the Library Book Sale! Watching these students take action to support literacy and share their love of reading is nothing short of inspiring. Their generosity is a reminder that big changes start with small, meaningful steps.
Thank you for making our community stronger, one book at a time! #communitypartnerships #stjschools #tigerpride
Learning Highlight: Science & Engineering Fun! 🎈🐯🤍
The STJ Middle School STEM Club explored surface tension by experimenting with balloons. The elastic polymers in balloons allow them to stretch, and when punctured slowly in the right spots, they don’t pop! Then, students got creative with engineering, building everything from baskets to roller coasters using just paper plates and limited supplies.
Our Tigers are proving that creativity and problem-solving go hand in hand! #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride
