Kindergarten Intro to Coding

During their weekly STREAM special, Kindergarten students have been learning very basic coding skills, which – today – involved using our fun Code-A-pillar robots and the Code-a-pillar Application on their school-issued iPads. Great work Sabers!!

Book Fair Update

A huge thank you to all the families that shopped at our 2021 Scholastic Book Fair!  Together we raised approximately $5,000 for our school library and our classrooms!!  We are so grateful for the support!

AND, we are excited to announce that 4th Grade won the Extra Change Dress Down Day Contest (note: 4th grade teachers will let their students know which day the dress down will occur).  The book raffle winners and free poster winners were also announced (over the intercom) this afternoon by Mrs. Zorger.

If you did not have a chance to order books and would like to do so (or would like to purchase additional items), our ONLINE ORDERING LINK (click to open) will be active until October 17th.

We would like to once again thank Mrs. Poth for volunteering to chair this event for us, and for all the time and energy she put into making it a huge success.  And, of course, all the parent and grandparent volunteers who helped with setup and running our book fair this week – Thank You!!

TONIGHT: Home & School Association Meeting

The HSA (Home & School Association) will hold its second meeting of the new school year this evening (10/7), from 7:00-8:00pm in the school cafeteria.  We strongly encourage all of our SJS parents/ grandparents to attend to learn about the many fun (and fundraising!) events that will be happening here at school over the next few months and throughout the year.

When you arrive at the school, please ring the buzzer at the breezeway doors and then head downstairs to the cafeteria.
