Service Learning at St. James

Community service is an important part of our program here at St. James. Each classroom has a service project that they give to every year. We have service-learning projects that help both locally and abroad. The teachers show the students what giving looks like by having them go Christmas caroling, send letters, gifts, provide food donations, restock shelves, and give monetary donations. All of these methods of giving teach our students how to be aware of others who are in need. Listed below is each class and their service-learning project. We appreciate parents and students for the time their give to support our teachers with these amazing outreaches here at St. James.
