Expresso Yourself at the St. James Elementary Poetry Cafe!

May 13, 2026

St. James Elementary’s Poetry Café was a wonderful celebration of creativity as our fifth graders proudly shared their original poems with family and friends! The evening was filled with heartfelt words, smiles, and plenty of community spirit.

A BIG thank you to Karen Morel from My Cookie Dealer for the generous and delicious sweet treats that made the night even sweeter!

Special thanks also to our fifth grade coordinators, Erika Lazzaruolo and Lauralee D’Angelo, along with the many parents who dedicated their time and effort to help make the event such a success. And to our amazing SJE families — thank you for your generous donations and continued support of our school events. We appreciate you all!
