SA Talent Show - Coming April 15, submit your acts by April 6!

The SA Talent Show is on for this year and will take place in digital format, just as we did last year! Although we love to see our Jaguars performing in person and on stage, the virtual format will keep our community safe AND give our Jaguars a chance to share their unique talents - even those talents that don't lend themselves to the traditional stage! Last year we were delighted to see the range of talents that were showcased, and we can't wait to see what our Jaguars have in store for us this year.

Show and Submission Dates

The SA Talent Show 2021 welcomes acts from all students, JK through 8, and will be shared on SA social media and as our weekly chapel on the morning of Thursday, April 15. Video files of student acts must be submitted to Mrs. Roy by Tuesday, April 6.

Submission Details and Video Length

Students are limited to one act each and will submit a 1-minute video clip of their act. A tip: Film your child's video in landscape format (with the smart phone on its side) so that your video fills up the entire screen when presented on a computer or TV.

1-minute video submissions may be submitted to Mrs. Roy at [email protected]. In your email, please include a description: student's name, grade, talent (ex: karate, dance, singing), and name of musical piece/artist if applicable. Options for sharing the 1-minute video files include wetransfer.com, Dropbox, and Google Drive. Mrs. Roy is happy to assist you when you get to that step, or if you have any other questions along the way!

Third grade students built Draw Bots (robots that can draw!) in the week leading up to spring break.

Spring Break Health and Safety Reminders

SA Parents,

We continue to follow the recommendations of the CDC who recommends a mass transit travel quarantine to give adequate time for contact tracing or symptom monitoring. Students who have traveled via mass transit will quarantine and not be present on campus for a minimum of 5 days after completion of travel.

We ask that our families inform the school at [email protected] if you have utilized mass transit (plane, bus, train) over the break.
