HEADMASTER’S MESSAGE
Only Connect

It sounds like a routine observation: the biggest challenge we’re encountering in the first days of school at St. Johnsbury Academy is that we are too far apart.

We find ways to come together without getting too close. We strain sometimes to hear each other through our masks and face coverings (which, for the record, absolutely no one enjoys wearing—but we must!). And not that anyone can really tell from a distance, but we have very clean hands.

We’ve developed a thoughtful, responsible, and balanced plan for opening the 2020-2021 school year. Check this link often for the most up-to-date information.

AROUND CAMPUS
Students from three different science classes were busy in the park next to Streeter Hall during A Block. A diverse selection of trees in the park make it a prime area for students to learn more about each species.
Fall athletic teams were able to begin practicing on September 8 and our athletes were ready. Each of the teams are following their new guidelines with the hopes that games will be played beginning the week of September 28.
Students in Mr. Shea’s Film I class were outside today on Stowe Green working out new shooting angles and perspectives as they prepare to create their first video projects this week.
The cheerleading team joined some of SJA’s other fall athletic teams to participate in a virtual version of the Walk to End Alzheimers event Friday afternoon during their practices. A video of the event can be viewed here.
