SJS Basketball Season Underway
The Saint James School basketball season is in full swing! Here are a few pictures from the most recent games
4th Grade Engineering Challenge
Last week, Saint James School 4th Grade students completed and presented their Gingerbread Man Trap project. Combining creativity, engineering skills, and of course, a lot of fun, 4th grade Science teacher, Mrs. Devanney, challenged students to create a trap that could catch and hold a gingerbread man. Students came up with all kinds of fun ways to lure the gingerbread man into the trap, and a wide variety of ways to keep him from escaping. Here are some pictures of the students with their creations and some of the students presenting to their classmates:
Cards for the Troops
A couple of our basketball teams recently sent cards and blankets to the troops overseas. Our Kindergarten students as well as a couple of other grades, also sent cards for these men and women who can’t be with their families this Christmas. Here is a picture that was sent back in from a group stationed in Kuwait.
