4th Grade Students Present Biographies
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolPublic speaking is just one of the many important skills that students learn at Saint James School. For this month’s book report, 4th grade students read a biography and presented information on their famous person (gathered from reading the book and online research) to the class. Dressing as the subject of their report was optional. Here are many of our 4th grade students who chose to dress in costume for their presentation and others showing their poster reports (click pictures to enlarge).

SJS Students Help at MACC
/in St. James Notices /by Saint James SchoolLast Sunday, several SJS families volunteered their time at the MACC food pantry in town. This is, of course, a busy time of year for MACC a lot of help is needed with unloading, separating, and stocking items to benefit members of our community who are in need for the Holidays. Students and parents also helped date and organize the donations that will serve a longer term need. Parents attending felt this was a great experience for our students to better understand the need in our community, and ways that people can help – not only through donations – but just giving their time and energy.
MACC is looking for assistance again this Sunday from from 4:00pm – 6:30pm. If anyone is interested in bringing their family to help, please contact Mary Ann Creamer at ma1283@att.com.
