Updates

In the JK classroom we have been working very hard on our spelling words, we have practised spelling them and writing them in our journals. We have played many games to help us memorize them.
In the arts we have been practising our Arts night song - Never smile at a crocodile. You may hear us singing this, please help us practise! We also have been working on crocodile hats to wear during our performance. For the night of arts night students are asked to wear green shirts and blue pants.

Reminders: For those who are usually in aftercare please ensure you fill in and send payment for the pre-paid invoices for June as we can not invoice in the summer. - Email sent home today as well detailing it.

Tomorrow is track and field it is going to be hot so please ensure students are wearing the gym shorts and t-shirt, as well as sun screen as we will be outside all day.

Exciting News !!!

ON BEHALF OF MR. SAWATSKY...

Dear Parents, 

It is with great excitement that I announce that SJA will have a new home for September. We have been working very hard in securing a new location that will have more classrooms with more windows, more parking, better playground area, better washroom facilities, and room to grow. Also, we wanted the new building to be on a more major road so that we are more visible to the community.  

Our new location is only 2 minutes from the current location. 
2150 Torquay Mews is the address, and part of the property backs onto Erin Mills Parkway. (It is right next to the Meadowvale 4 rinks)

SJA will hold summer camps at the new location, and 
school will start September 9, at the new location. We will hold orientation at the new building so that the parents are able to get a tour of the new facilities before the school year starts. 

The move will be very exciting, but it will be a lot of hard work over the summer. If any parents wish to volunteer to help teachers set up classrooms or move boxes, we would be very appreciative.  Also, there will be lots of activity at the old SJA building as we get ready to move. We have sold all of our portables, and we need to have them removed from the property by mid June. 

We are very excited, and we will keep you, the parents, updated on the move as the summer progresses.  

Regards, 
 
Aaron Sawatsky Head of School

My friends were all risk takers every students petted the animals even the snake! (Mrs. Smith was too scared to touch that one!)
