Tuesday, November 5th was Election Day and our students practiced their future civic duty of voting. Each Lower School student waited in line at the polls for their turn to use a voting booth cast their vote on paper ballots. Students voted for “The Best Things in Life”. Categories were: Best game in PE, Best Animal, Favorite Snack, Best Movie Character, and Best Thing to Add to the Playground. They even got to turn their ballots into a ballot box and results were announced the next day. Great job Lower School students!
The fall season brings about many fun activities at SJDS. One of the beloved events is Book Character Day. Students pick a character from a book of their choosing and come to school dressed as that character. They also give a brief presentation telling why they chose their book, character, and any favorite parts or interesting details from the book.
Halloween Day was another exciting time for students. Each classroom participated in Minute-to-Win-It games in the commons and had a Mummy Making Competition.
Second grade wants to give a special thank you to Mrs. Denise and the Middle School students for a very fun hay ride and visit to the pumpkin patch and for making the fall season such a fun time at St. James Day School.
