April 26th

It is that time again SJA. Our annual SJA Spring Fundraiser is here. Forms and information were sent home. 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.

Uniform reminders: JK- Grade 2 gym uniforms are to be worn on Mondays and Wednesdays. After a weekend where Monday is a holiday students will return to school on the Tuesday in their dress uniform. 

Calendar- the special helpers put up the date, counts down to 100 days of school, and tells us what the weather is like today.

UOI with language focus- Today we had a discussion about why we think Ms. Denise (our lunch lady) is an important person at SJA. We brainstormed our ideas and then wrote it into our organization chart. Tomorrow we will write an opinion letter to Ms. Denise telling her our thoughts.

UOI -  today we finished creating our Shekere, a beautiful musical instrument. Students glued on their decorations and filled their bottles with rice.
