BIDDEFORD — “March is always a long month in schools,” said Nancy Naimey, principal of St. James School in Biddeford. “So, we thought, “Let’s try to plan a month-long initiative that promotes our S.A.F.E. mission each day!’”
The result? “March Madness” and a schedule of events and activities that celebrate the school’s commitment to S.A.F.E. (Service, Academics, Faith, Excellence) with the students, who have been receiving in-person education since September, already looking forward to the memorable moments to come.
Highlights include: March 1, Zero Discrimination Day that will promote the school’s commitment to inclusiveness; March 2, Dr. Seuss’ birthday will be celebrated with a special reading event and students wearing red and white; March 3, on World Wildlife Day, students will take a virtual field trip to view animals in their habitats; and much more.
“St. James isn’t just a school, it’s a family,” said Naimey. “This initiative is just another fun and creative way to bring the community together.”
