December 6th was a wonderful day for Student Council members in celebrating Saint Nicholas Day! Preschool through eighth grade students were surprised by a visit from Santa and a treat. Our Student Council members, moderated by Mrs. Shire, with Santa told ASJM students to remember Nicholas’s kindness and charity as they prepare for Christmas.
In the spirit of giving, our Student Council would like to express its gratitude to the families and students of Saint James who contributed to the food drive for families in need. It was indeed a fine act of charity as indicated by the large amounts of food collected. Way to go ASJM!!
My students in fifth grade were able to express themselves through words and images in an exciting way. During our creative writing class, students identified literary devices, structure, and theme which enabled them to create acrostic poems about Thanksgiving. Later, working collaboratively in art class students connected the Thanksgiving theme through drawing and coloring their mental picture. This cross -curricular learning connection was a meaningful outlet for the fifth grade students to share their creativity. I am very proud of them! - Mrs. Shire
Last week Academy of St. James students celebrated All Saint's Day by dressing up as their favorite saints! Here are a few of our students who dressed and brought up the gifts during mass.
