Welcome, Teddy and Paul!
St. James is full of musicians! Through our partnership with Philadelphia Youth Orchestra's Tune Up Philly program and Director of Choral Music & Music Education Javvieaus Stewart's music curriculum, our students have access to robust and in-depth music instruction! They learn about the history of music, analyze sheet music, and choose an instrument to learn during their time at St. James.
Please give a warm St. James welcome to Megan Cahill, who is joining us as our Special Projects Coordinator. Before moving to Philadelphia, Megan was a high school science teacher for Chicago Public Schools. During her years at home with three children, she volunteered at St. James and assisted science instruction, organized lab activities, and planned field trips. She received training in makerspace education at Teachers College, Columbia University. Welcome, Megan!
