The Sun Room Café had some extra holiday magic brewing this month! With a little help from the Grinch, Max, Olaf, and Sven, our team delivered festive cheer in every cup—serving Grinch Punch to our students, smoothies and cold brew to our staff, and celebrating our beloved annual Northside Polar Express Day 🚂✨ From mugs filled with cheer to hearts growing three sizes too big, it was a season of Whosie-whatsey, Who-hash, and kindness shared all around. We hope your holiday season is just as warm, joyful, and magical as a ride on the Polar Express. 🎄💚

Thank you to everyone who joined our December Saints & Sips session! Community members representing families from Pre-K through high school came together for meaningful conversation around literacy, math, and student opportunity.

Highlights included Literacy Lead Michele Chapin sharing insights on the READ Act and district literacy supports; Superintendent Liam Dawson outlining upcoming work connected to the 2022 Minnesota Math Standards and the Math Steering Committee; and Guidance Counselor Steve Witcraft providing an update on concurrent enrollment. The Class of 2025 saved nearly $170,000 in tuition, with the Class of 2026 on pace to exceed $200,000. Information was also shared about credentialing MSHS staff to expand college-in-the-schools offerings.

We appreciate the thoughtful questions, dialogue, and shared commitment to supporting all St. James students. Join us in January as Saints & Sips focuses on building a Culture of Care for students and staff.

Representative Marj Fogelman visited St. James Public Schools yesterday as part of MESPA and MASSP’s “Principal for a Day” initiative.
This program provides legislators with an opportunity to connect with school staff and administrators while gaining a firsthand look at daily school life.

During her visit, Representative Fogelman read to a Kindergarten class, listened to band rehearsal, and spent time engaging with staff about the strengths, challenges, and celebrations within our school community.

We appreciate her willingness to learn more about the great work happening in St. James!
