April 24th

It is that time again SJA. Our annual SJA Spring Fundraiser is fast approaching. It will run the week of Monday, April 24-Friday, April 28. Forms and information were sent home today. This year, we are raising money for technology and our goal is $9000. If we raise $3000 as a school we get to wrap a teacher in toilet paper! If we raise $6000 as a school we get to silly string a teacher! If we reach our goal of $9000, students will get to water balloon the teachers! There will be a number of events happening throughout the week and amazing prizes for students who participate, as well as a grand prize, which includes a movie and pizza party!! Some of the daily prizes include a gum day, silly string a teacher, an extra casual day, sit on your teachers chair for the day, and being able to pie Mr. Sawatsky in the face! 

For a pledge of $35 or more, your child will be able to attend a class trip to Kidsports Indoor Playground on Thursday, May 11. Thank you so much in advance for your participation. We greatly appreciate it! The pledge form and money is due by Friday, April 28. 

Summer uniforms have begun. Summer uniform consists of grey pants/shorts/skirt, the white polo t-shirt, and navy blue socks/stockings.
