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!

Our students joined hundreds of other young learners for a hands-on, outdoor learning experience led by incredible Minnesota State University, Mankato education students. The excitement was contagious from start to finish!
Throughout the day, students rotated through four engaging stations:
🔍 Pond viewing and exploration
🌲 Building stick towers in the woods
📏 Measuring baby animals
🦉 Dissecting owl pellets
From curious questions to muddy hands, this was learning at its best—active, meaningful, and full of discovery. Our students had the chance to experience science, math, and nature in ways that simply can’t be replicated in the classroom.
A huge thank you to Ruby Ranch and all of the college students and organizers who made this day possible. We are so grateful for the time, preparation, and passion that went into creating such a special experience for our kids.
All in all! A wonderful day filled with learning, laughter, and lots of memories! 💚
