We want to express our thanks to everyone who came out yesterday to vote and support our students and teachers. Unfortunately, Prop TIGERS did not secure the necessary votes to pass. Our dedication to you, our students, and our mission remains strong. To our staff, thank you for showing up every day for our students. You are the heart of our district. We'll continue efforts to communicate, collaborate, and find innovative solutions for student success.

Today, we proudly celebrate #MissionMonday, highlighting the positive impact of collaboration on student growth and development. We believe strong ties with our community are vital to creating a thriving educational environment, extending beyond classrooms to offer enriching experiences. Recently, the District hosted a satellite volleyball camp for 6th to 12th graders, led by Missouri S&T volleyball coaches, Andy Halaz and Ryan Thompson. Over three days, our players focused on fundamentals, teamwork, and sportsmanship under the expert guidance of these college coaches. We extend heartfelt gratitude to Coach Halaz and Coach Thompson for working with our students. And thank you to our own talented volleyball coaches for organizing this opportunity! #CommunityPartnerships #stjschools #tigerpride

Mission Monday Highlight! Quinn Shultz, Luca Giacolone, Dionna Lynch, and Hannah Ament recently attended Missouri Boys and Girls State! At St. James R-1 School District, we're passionate about empowering students through caring relationships, academic excellence, and community partnerships. Missouri Boys and Girls State provided our students with an immersive experience in civic education and leadership development. They engaged in dynamic discussions, collaborated on challenging projects, and formed meaningful connections with aspiring leaders from across the state. We're grateful to the American Legion and Auxiliary Unit for making this opportunity possible. Their commitment to youth development has opened doors for countless Tigers and enriched their lives. Great work representing #tigerpride at the state level! #CommunityPartnerships #MissouriBoysandGirlsState #stjschools
