We recently installed the SA Hive – a celebration of our community. Each class and SA faculty worked together to design a single honeycomb cell. Our cells came together to create a hive, and now as homerooms accomplish goals throughout the year we will continue to post them in the front stairwell. Come and check out the Hive out when you have a chance, and thank you to Mr. PK for his design, facilitation, and installation of this project!
Thursday, November 7 is an early release day. There is no afterschool and there is no preschool. Pickup is at 11:30am. Lunch will be available.
On early dismissal days, we follow our regular dismissal procedures. Students who get picked up by car are dismissed to the back loop first. Then, bus students are dismissed, followed by walkers at the bell. Walkers meet up with their pick-up person on the blacktop.

The Harvest Run took place on Sunday, October 13, at the Intervale. What a fun and inspiring morning! We lucked out with incredible weather – sun, changing leaves and only a slight chill. It was our most successful fundraising year ever, bringing in more than $10,000 for the SA Community. Over 80 people ran! Thank you to all who participated in and volunteered for it.
