School Recognized by Channel 3

St. James School Composting Program Receives Recognition

This year, SJS students have initiated a composting program to eliminate waste from the school lunch program. The Science Classes have recently made and filled raised beds with our compost and are working to integrate this composting into experimenting and working to use that compost to efficiently grow food and engage in small-scale farming for our school.  

Because of the efforts of Ms. Fahey, the Junior High Science teacher, and our students, St. James School was recently recognized by Channel 3.  Channel 3 donated a tree that has been planted in the playground for the Early Care students behind the rectory at St. James.

We have also recently made and filled raised beds with our compost.
