"Coming from St. James I have learned so many things like who God is.
St. James has been the place my dad, soon my brother and I grew and will grow up.

Things I remember doing throughout the years…
*Pre K-losing my 1st tooth while eating a cookie
*K- I felt so special standing on a chair on my birthday
*1st- Going to the Zoo with all my friends
*2nd- 1st Communion
*3rd- 3rd grade night out
*4th- Going to Mrs. Tollefson’s family farm
*5th- Outdoor school & the best day of my life, our Graduation

There were so many life lessons I learned while attending St. James. My favorite would have to be working at the Wine & Food Classic in the coat booth my 5th grade year. We made money for our graduation party. We even donated some of the money to local charities that our class decided upon. This school means so much; I met so many good friends, people I will never forget, confidence, and a life long love of learning."
