What's Happening at SJA?

We always have so much happening here at St. Jude's our staff and students work hard all year to offer different events for the students to participate in to showcase their hard work and talents. Here is what is happening:
Exhibition:
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, if you can make please show your support. We will be watching presentations that are appropriate for the grade 3's. If you have any concerns please feel free to contact me!

Spring Fundraiser

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 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 in the face!
