Friday will be
Grandparents’ Day
We’re thrilled to welcome SBJA
grandparents to our campus this
Friday, October 26, beginning at
11:30 a.m. This is one of our favorite
occasions at SBJA, and we just hope the grandparents
are looking forward to it as much as we are! As you know, our
remodeled school kitchen is not yet ready for warming up the
typically delicious food our school parents prepare, so we will
be having the event catered. We need to know how many
grandparents to expect ASAP. Most of you have already
responded, but there are still some parents who have not
RSVPd for the number who will be attending. Thanks for doing
that right away online to your student’s teacher. The charge is
$5 per person, including students. Grandparents will need
tickets to get in (we’ll have the tickets waiting at will call at the
door). We’re sorry about all this paperwork, but we’re doing
the best we can to make the event happen with the
circumstances we’re in!
Thanks to all for
a successful
Magazine Sale
A big thank you to Mrs.
Cheri Dawson, faculty
sponsor, Mrs. Blanca Farber,
Home and School
Association sponsor, and to
all our participating families for
making a successful Magazine
Sale. The two individuals
pictured here did an amazing
job of motivating students,
keeping track of orders, and in
general, pulling the whole
project off!
Mrs. Correa deserves a round
of applause
Mrs. Germania Correa, our kitchen supervisor,
has been working in less than ideal
circumstances to feed our students, always with
a smile on her face, and no complaining! I
wonder how many of us could do that,
especially the no complaining part. We
appreciate her so much, and we let her know
that in our chapel program last Friday.
We’re thankful
for strong young
men
Take a look at the muscles on
these young men who, believe
it or not, lifted the new school
stove that weighs about 5,000
pounds, or at least that’s what
it seemed like, up over the
serving counter and into place in the kitchen. It was Spirit Week when
the job needed to be done, so some of them are looking a bit like they
had a “fashion disaster.” That’s OK, it’s what they were supposed to
look like!
We need more violinists
Our violin teacher, Ms. Ling, cannot continue her group violin class at
SBJA unless she has more students. If your student is considering violin
lessons, this would be the time to sign up. Please call Ms. Ridgeway in
the school office if you have an interest.
