Lucy’s Stripes and Sweets: Learning Through Service and Smiles! 🍩🐯❤️
Lucy’s Stripes and Sweets is all about students learning by doing and spreading a little happiness along the way. LWJE staff place their sweet orders at the start of the week and on Friday students deliver them.
Under the guidance of Mr. Fricke, students manage orders, handle money, and make deliveries! This program touches all five core values of our Portrait of a Graduate: Effective Communication through taking and delivering orders, Engaged Citizenship by serving the school community, Critical Thinking in managing logistics, Future Focused by practicing leadership and accountability, and Social Integrity through kindness.
It's proof that real learning happens when students get hands-on, take responsibility, and make someone’s day a little sweeter! #caringrelationships #stjschools #tigerpride

The Classroom Economy That Fifth Grade Built! ❤️🐯🤍
Mrs. Schisler and Mrs. Ortega’s fifth graders wrapped up their classroom economy by putting their savings to use during a class auction! Students earned paychecks for their jobs, paid rent, and learned how to manage their “money” throughout the project. When auction day arrived, they used those earnings to choose small prizes or spend meaningful time with a teacher or staff member, including reading to a younger class or playing a game.
It was a hands-on way to practice Engaged Citizenship by giving students real choices and opportunities to contribute to their school community! #PortraitofaGraduate #stjschools #tigerpride

Holiday Superlatives, Admin Edition! 🎄🧑🎄🥁
Our district administrative team paused during today’s planning meeting for some festive fun as peers voted on which holiday characters we most resemble. It turns out nothing brings out teamwork quite like discovering who is Santa, who channels Buddy the Elf, and who is as sweet as the Sugar Plum Fairy!
Even in fun moments like this, we’re practicing the same skills we hope our students grow every day, from Effective Communication to Critical Thinking! #PortraitofaGraduate #stjschools #tigerpride
Mentors, Magic, and Santa Mail! 🧑🎄📝🎄
Ms. Wisdom’s fifth graders brought some holiday cheer when they visited first graders in Ms. Perkins and Miss Halbert’s class to help with letters to Santa! The older students jumped right into their mentoring role, guiding ideas and cheering on their younger buddies.
It was a simple moment that showed Effective Communication growing in both grades as they worked together! #stjschools #tigerpride

Scrubbed In for Learning! 🥼🐯🩻
Mrs. Engelbrecht’s third-grade classes scrubbed in for a unit review that transformed the room into a bustling ER! Students moved from one “operation room" to the next, solving challenges with the focus of a surgical team and the excitement that comes with hands-on learning! #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride
