Service Learning

Eighth grade students chose the Chattanooga Community Kitchen as their first service project for the school year. In just three days, students collected 700 pounds, or over 1000 canned goods and an additional 1000 pairs of socks. Mrs. Gadd's third grade class collected the most cans and Fifth Grade collected the most socks. Thank you students for all you do to help our community!!!

Creative Learning

St. Jude School students have spent the first semester working hard and learning! With the creative inspiration of our wonderful faculty, students have excelled in a variety of areas. 6th grade students spent several weeks studying Egypt in Social Studies and Literature. Complimenting that study, science teacher Mrs. Brincks led a project on "mummifying chickens". This hands on project was a hit with the students!!

We Will Make a Difference!

Using Marian Wright Edelman’s book, “I Can Make a Difference” as a guide, St. Jude School has adopted “I Can Make a Difference” as its character education theme for the 2006 – 2007 school year. Outlining a series of 12 value principles, the book teaches that it is both a privilege and an obligation to try to make life better, even if we don’t always succeed.

With values ranging from the Golden Rule to the importance of honesty, every student will have the chance to learn and live the principle. Every student will be given a laminated key, imprinted with the value they are presently studying. It is our belief that at the end of the year, this set of keys can help the student change the world in which they live – even if it is in one small step at a time.
