Earth daY & physics challenge

Reduce, REUSE, Recycle:

Earth Day is a day of celebrating our beautiful planet and teaching others about how we can KEEP it clean. Our REUSE project showed others that a fun and creative craft can be made with old magazine pages. And the more paper we humans use, the more trees we have to cut down. And the more trees we cut down, the more animal homes we destroy.

~Old magazine pages become new photo frames ~

Testing Week is a stress free, snack eating, science fun kinda week here at St. James! Each afternoon, we strive to create fun hands-on activities for our students that work extra hard during the morning tests! This year we participated in the Middle School’s Science Team, "Trajeggtory Engineering Challenge”, egg throwing with a ‘lil physics!

Each team was given 15 minutes to use their own building materials to construct a device capable of protecting an egg. A student from the team THREW their constructed device OVER the top of the volleyball net. The device that went the FARTHEST distance WITHOUT BREAKING was declared the winner.
