SJM Spartans: Two Towns. One Force.
The SJM Spartans logo is more than a mark, it’s a symbol of unity and strength. Some of St. James and Madelia's athletic programs have come together under one banner, one name, and one mission: to compete as a single, unstoppable team.
At the heart of the logo stands the Spartan helmet, a nod to the warriors who fought with loyalty, discipline, and strength. Just like them, we rise and battle side by side, stronger together than apart.
The bold SJM across the crest of the design proudly carries both towns, showing every opponent who we are and what we stand for: leadership, grit, and respect.
Two colors fuse Madelia’s orange and St. James’s red: a fierce blend symbolizing unity, energy, and courage. It’s a color of battle, the color of heart, and the color of two towns that have become one force. Together we lead. Together we fight. Together we win. We are the SJM Spartans.
A special thank you to Venatic Design of St. James for the logo introduction and their incredible work in creating a logo that perfectly captures the spirit of the SJM Sports Cooperative! #SJMSpartans
The Northside Elementary 3rd Graders had a really great day at the US Bank Stadium learning how STEM plays a big role in the running of the stadium! They had a stadium tour that included going into the player’s locker room and going onto the field! They also got to run onto the field thru the player’s tunnel! Lastly, they participated in a variety of STEM activities including building paper rockets and launching them at player cutouts in the end zone!
A huge THANK YOU to the Minnesota Vikings Foundation, in partnership with the Science Museum of Minnesota, for hosting us through the Vikings Voyage Program! They had so much fun! 💜 💛 🏈

St. James Public Schools Sends Off FFA State Champion to Nationals
This morning, students and staff at St. James Public Schools gathered to celebrate Katelyn, who is traveling to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana this week. The school community lined the halls of both buildings to give Katelyn a warm and spirited sendoff.
Katelyn earned the title of Minnesota State Champion in FFA Creed Speaking this past spring, and she will now proudly represent the state of Minnesota on the national stage.
The Saints Community is very proud of Katelyn’s accomplishment and the way she represents St. James and our state.
Congratulations and best of luck, Katelyn!
