Kindergarten students put meteorology concepts that they have discussed and learned about in class into action in a visit from Discovery Place! Measuring rainfall, reading temperature on a thermometer, and reading a compass, students worked in groups and discussed seasons, weather patterns, and wind direction. The class even measured wind speed using an anemometer!

Year-End Community Fun at SA: Golf Tournament April 30 and SA Online Auction April 14-17
Hello SA Parents,

The warm spring weather brings with it opportunities to get outdoors, and for the golfers in our school community this means it's time to hit the course!
We're excited to hold an SA Golf Tournament in just over one month on Friday, April 30 and welcome you to join in the fun. See the event details below. Early registration ends tomorrow, and there is still time to join in. Email me at [email protected] to sign up or learn more.

SA Golf Tournament 2021
Warrior Golf Course
Friday, April 30
(tentative rain date May 7)
Time: 1 p.m. shotgun start
Place: Warrior Golf Club
Format: Captain’s Choice
$90/person
As an additional way to get involved and show your school spirit this spring, SA parents are invited to join us for the SA Online Auction featuring a variety of items and experiences! The auction will go live on Wed., April 14 and will run through Sat., April 17.

This is the second year of the SA Online Auction, an innovation from the former live auction at the Bloom Gala. Funds raised in the online auction play an essential role in supporting the programming and outreach at SA while bridging the gap between tuition and the cost of an SA education.

Stay tuned as the auction approaches for updates on items and instructions for setting up your online account. With questions or to donate an auction item or experience, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Tracey Baird, Director of Annual Giving
In one of their first major presentation opportunities, first grade students presented their research projects on the different habitats of our world to their classmates this week.

Additionally, congratulations to Emmaline on continuing onto the greater region poster contest where she earned a second place finish!
SA's Got Talent! Submit your acts by April 6 for the April 15 show
The SA Talent Show will take place in digital format and welcomes acts from all students, JK through 8. The Talent Show will be shared on SA social media (and will be enjoyed by students in school in place of 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!
March and April Lunch Menus
Habeeb Catering is serving lunches for students in grades 1-8 on M-Th. With questions contact Habeeb Catering. Thank you!

Note for Lunches:
If you plan to sign your child up for pasta days, please specify whether your child would like alfredo or meat sauce on each day by circling their choice on the menu. This will be helpful as we plan for portions. Thanks so much!
Chapel and Happy Birthdays
This week's chapel was led by first grade students with a guest message by Mrs. Laurie Pluck of the Fellowship for Christian Athletes on our March virtue of mercy.
