Today we celebrated some of our AMAZING St. James Knights who earned Lunch with the Principal as their prize for having perfect instructional attendance during the first 9 weeks! 🏰✨
These students had ZERO tardies, early checkouts, or absences at ALL! They received 100% of instruction during the 1st quarter of school.
These students showed up all day, every day, and their hard work, commitment, and dedication truly shine. We are so proud of them and loved getting to celebrate their accomplishment together! 👏
Keep up the great work, Knights! Here’s to more learning, more growing, and more celebrations ahead! 🌟
🎉 Congratulations to St. James’ very own, Maggy Wilson! 🎉
We are thrilled to share that Maggy has been selected as the Lincoln County Schools Bus Driver of the Month! 🚍💛
Maggy consistently goes above and beyond . Not only does she support the St. James Bus Gals, but also stepping in to support routes at East Lincoln Middle and East Lincoln High. She is loved by every student who has the joy of riding her bus and is truly a shining example of dedication and heart.
Maggy is a wonderful member of our St. James family, and we are so incredibly blessed to have her. Help us celebrate her today! 👏💙💛
