It’s here! It’s here! Our annual SJA Spring Fundraiser is finally here. It began on Monday and runs until Friday. 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 pie Mr. Sawatsky or Mr. Oliver in the face! We will find out our grand total on Monday!! 

Today we had a blast dancing away the afternoon. We had a DJ, glow bracelets and a candy bar!

Such a fun afternoon!

The $35 pledge forms and money for the indoor playground field trip was due today.

CONGRATULATIONS to Noah in Ms. Bancud’s SK class who brought in the most money today for the Spring Fundraiser and because of that he got to pie Mr. Oliver in the face. As a class we have raised $716! Lets see if we can be the top class and win that pizza and movie party!! Lets keep up the great work Grade 4’s!****

A note from your Grade 6 class : Dear SJA Families,

The Grade 6 class invites you to attend the Exhibition on Friday, May 5, 2017, from 9 am to 11 am, or from 6 pm to 8 pm in the auditorium.

The Exhibition is the culminating task of the IB Primary Years Programme. It is where students work collaboratively to explore a local issue that interests them.  This year’s Grade 6s have chosen the following topics to explore:

Terrorism

Elder Abuse/Neglect

Physician-Assisted Dying

Developmental Disabilities

Animal Abuse/Neglect

Immigration

Garbage Pollution

Climate Change

Crime

Some great reasons why you should attend if your child is NOT in Grade 6 include:

·         Supporting and celebrating with the Grade 6s

·         Learning about these issues

·         Being aware of what will be expected of your child when they are in Grade 6

We hope to see you then.

Sincerely,

The Grade 6 Class

We will be viewing the presentations next Friday. This is a 6 week long project that the Grade 6’s work very hard on. So please feel free to come and support the Grade 6’s!
