The SJA community began its annual celebration of our school’s catholicity this past Sunday morning with a pancake breakfast in the Parish Hall.  The food was excellent, and many parishioners and school families joined together to mark the onset of a traditionally special week in the school calendar.  We also had our Open House for both new families and those currently enrolled.  Thank you all for stopping by to visit and for your time spent reviewing the student work displayed and presented by our talented children.  As we prepare for our upcoming WASC  review, faculty and staff are working especially hard to have our school site looking its very best, and to excite and prepare our students for this important accreditation process.  Please keep us in your prayers as we endeavor to fair well in our school wide evaluation. 

   There are lots of fun and special events taking place this week!  If you are able to join in our school wide Mass held Wed. 1/30, please do.  Students in the 5-6th grades are leading the service, and are sure to do an impressive job!  Thursday, the students get a day of free dress, an ice-cream treat on the yard with their class, and to watch the annual teacher vs. student council volleyball game.  That should be a spirited day for the Knights, students and teachers alike=) Stay tuned for more on what’s coming up at SJA…we are a busy and growth-filled community, where it is always a great day to learn something new! 

***Fostering the courage to believe and succeed!!! So many great days of spirited learning and social maturation taking place.  I am very proud of my 2007-08 class! They make me smile countless times daily and continue to amaze me in their very astute observations and honesty.  Take a look at all our days of diligent work in Kindergarten!! =) -Ms. F

It is already 2008, and the Kindergarteners are taking off in all areas! It has been a year full of of exciting learning and social growth. All nine students came to SJA with unique personalities and talents and have come together as a community of learners and good friends. The students have studied almost all the 26 letters/sounds and are on their way towards reading on our own!! Our classroom has many

learning centers where students work in pairs and do activities to enrich what has been taught/focused on during the directed lessons. As a whole, each of the kindergarten students has accomplished many new skills and enjoyed the joy felt in finishing a task, and doing their personal best. There is more fun and important growth to be had by all in the remaining months of our school year!! =) -Ms. F
