Students are exploring the steps of the digestion process and practicing how to explain each stage using new vocabulary and speaking skills. It’s exciting to see them connect science and language learning in such a hands-on way!
It was a fun challenge that encouraged teamwork, communication, and creative thinking! Followed by some great discussion and reflection!
This last month, the cafe had a special visitor from Miss Pauling! Our students were so excited to have our student teacher back from last year to share the day with! 🫶🏼
The staff finished out their year with a piña colada smoothie and cold brew whereas the students enjoyed Easter Punch topped with a fun marshmallow treat! 🐥
Join us as we celebrate our amazing 5th graders and all they have accomplished! We are so proud of our students as they prepare for their next chapter as Saints!
We can’t wait to honor the Class of 2032! 🎉

The Northside PE Department is excited to introduce a NEW end-of-year activity for our Kindergarten–2nd Grade students! Students will enjoy a fun-filled day of movement as they rotate through exciting activity stations that showcase skills learned throughout the year.
This updated event focuses on:
⭐ Trying new things
⭐ Encouraging one another
⭐ Showing great sportsmanship
While this event will look a little different from past years, we know it will be a fun and memorable experience for all students!
Thank you for your continued support as we try something new!
Students can bring pop tabs to school and add them to their classroom container. Tabs will be weighed throughout the contest, and the classroom with the most will win a trophy!
All donations support the Ronald McDonald House, which provides free housing and meals for families with children receiving extended hospital care.
Thank you for supporting this meaningful cause!

With BOTH the Minnesota Wild and Timberwolves holding 3–2 series leads and a chance to clinch and advance, St. James Public Schools is officially declaring tomorrow Minnesota Sports Spirit Day!
Show your support by:
---Rocking your Wild green/red OR Timberwolves blue/black
---Wearing jerseys, hats, socks, jeans—whatever shows your team pride
---Bonus points if you can somehow represent both teams!
Let’s lean into the fun and build some positive energy across our schools and community, because, let’s be honest, we don’t always get moments like this as Minnesota sports fans.
One state. One night. Bring the energy.
Let’s go, Minnesota!
