St. James Lutheran School
Gabi Bukoski and Ananya Wilson participated in a lap challenge to raise money for a fellow swim family in need. Gabi’s goal was to swim 50 lengths; she ended up swimming 124 in a little over an hour. That’s equal to 31 football fields. Ananya’s goal was not available, but she swam 88 lengths, which is equal to 22 football fields. The club is so proud of these girls and all the swimmers for going past their goals and opening their hearts for their fellow swim family. So far, the club has received $1,740. The kids all received a round of applause when they exited the pool and a heart-warming thank you from the family.
The St. James Lutheran School Spirit Squad won first place at the annual Big Six Cheerleading Competition at N.E.W. Lutheran High School on Feb. 14. The Spirit Squad competed against four other schools – Pilgrim, St. Martin, St. Paul, Sacred Heart – to take home the win. The team also received the Spirit Award for its overall performance during the season. Go, Saders!
