Community Service project

Our class chose to collect quarters for the non-profit organization, Fearfully & Wonderfully Made. This local ministry helps families of NICU babies by providing blessing bags with many items included such as: diapers, devotional book, restaurant gift cards, blankets, $5 roll of quarters, and most importantly love & prayer. One of our hospitals received funding to purchase NICU cameras so that families can now watch their infant 24/7 with an app on their phones!

This year we collected close to $2,000! Each grade level competed to see who could bring the most coins in dollar amounts. This coin challenge also provides 3rd graders daily opportunities to count money using the hands-on approach! This community service project cultivates what we strive to teach here at St. James. Other than academics of course, our school stands on biblical principles to take care of each other.
