Mission Monday: Honoring Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a leader who showed the world the power of unity, compassion, and perseverance. His vision of equality and justice reminds us of the importance of working together to create a brighter future for all.
At St. James R-1, we strive to live out these values by fostering caring relationships and empowering every student to succeed. Let's honor Dr. King's dream by continuing to inspire greatness in ourselves and each other.

Learning Highlight: Winter Wonderland Adventures! ❄️🐯⛄
Kindergarten students made the most of the snow and ice still lingering around St. James this week! From building snowmen and creating perfect snow angels to adding splashes of color with snow painting, their adventures were full of fun and creativity.
