YEAR AHEAD DAY!!

SJA is excited to announce that Year Ahead Day is happening again this year!

 All SJA PYP students will be participating in this exciting event on Thursday, December 10th.   

Year Ahead Day is a fun and interactive day for the students

at SJA to spend a day in the class of the grade level ahead of them.

(Ex. SK students spend their day as Grade 1 students, Grade 6 students spend their day as Grade 7 students, etc.) 

This is a great way for the students at SJA to get a glimpse into their future life at SJA!  Students can get to know the teachers, see their future classroom, and take part in activities they will be participating in next year.
