St. James Plaindealer
Students at St. James schools had their last day on June 3. It was a day full of grill outs and picnics for everyone, along with fun activities to celebrate the end of the school year.
Each year the middle and high school students do something different. Some of the past things they have done are runs even a color run and going to the parks to do some cleanup and spend the day there. This year the middle and high school students had a kickball tournament. Doing activities each year is a fun way to end the school year.

St. James Plaindealer
This month, Northside Elementary will be celebrating I Love to Read Month with a theme of One World, Many Stories, where students will learn and be immersed in cultures and books from around the world. I Love to Read Month was to be held in February, but with students and teachers transitioning back to in-person learning, the celebratory month was pushed back. The push-back also allows the students to take a break for fun activities throughout MCA testing, which will also happen this month for third through fifth graders.
