Community Service Trip

By Kandice Kimmel, Latin & History 5th-8th

Sixth grade has partnered with first grade for our community service project this year, and what a beautiful partnership it is! Both classes visited Cornerstone Retirement Community to paint rocks and get to know the residents. I am so proud of the kindness and love all of the St. James students displayed during this creative project. Giving the gift of our time and conversations the students were able to build meaningful connections and bring smiles and laughter to a few senior citizens.

‘Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. It is important to the person who serves as well as the recipient. It’s the way in which we ourselves grow and develop.’ -Dorothy Height
