Good afternoon!
I hope you all had
a wonderful night!
We can now
officially share the good news. SJA has found a new home, which is much better
suited for our growing SJA family! Such an exciting time! It is bigger, with
more parking, washrooms, and classrooms. We will have a better play area and a
cafeteria for the students to eat in!! If you have any questions about the
move, please let me know and I will do my best to answer them! Because of this,
we will be out of the portables as of tomorrow. Each student will be bringing
home everything between today and tomorrow. We will no longer need gym clothes
and indoor shoes. We are keeping things simple, as we have no room to store
anything!! I thank you in advance for your cooperation and appreciate your
patience!!
Our first day out
of the portable was wonderful. They worked very hard and I am very impressed at
how smooth the transition has gone. I have no doubt the next two weeks will
continue to run as smoothly as today did! I have all the necessary items they
will need and we will continue to complete our daily activities from here on
out!!
If you are looking
to order specific uniform items well now is the time. Some of the money raised
from uniform sales will go towards efforts to help the victims of the Nepal
earthquake. Students were given an order form. Please see photo below!
Due to the gym
lockers being used for storage, we have decided that the students will be allowed
to wear their gym uniforms on Mondays and Wednesdays only.
The Spelling Bee lists have been sent home.
Please ensure your child begins practicing and that the list stays in their
agendas. There is one set of words for the grade 3’s and one set for the grade
4’s. Our in class contest will take place on Monday June 1 (new date), with Ms. Soroka’s class. We will be
choosing our top 5 from each grade (both grade 3 classes combined) the last
week of May. The top 5 from each grade will participate in the St. Jude’s
Academy annual Spelling Bee on Friday June 5, beginning at 9:00 am. Please note that there will be different
words on June 5. The list sent home is just to help them practice.
A few
important reminders/important dates
Please be sure to send your child with baseball hats or
sun hats and sunscreen! Also please be sure to send in water bottles…with all
the running around they do they get very hot and thirsty!
We are once again out of Kleenex and Lysol Wipes.
If you could please bring some in that would be great!
