4th Grade President Pictures

Today 4th graders turned in a book report and gave a short oral presentation on an assigned U.S. President.  As part of the assignment, students could choose to dress as their President for the day, put together an informational poster, or make a puppet.  Below are pictures of some of the 4th graders from this morning.  This afternoon, there was a Parade of Presidents through the hallways of Saint James School with 4th graders visiting different classrooms in the lower grades to “introduce” themselves.  A fun annual tradition!
