DATES TO REMEMBER May 6 Interschool Spelling Bee (Grades 1- 6) May 6 Upper School Study Hall
Educating your children is our passion. We have had an eventful March and April! SJA on BMO Field Our students have shown their resilience over the past few years, despite the challenges we have all faced. Together, we can now come together again, show our school pride and enjoy themed student life days and assemblies. We kicked off March Break with an appearance on the BMO Field. SJA students and St. Jude’s FC players were asked to carry the Canadian flag onto the field during the Toronto FC opening ceremony. We were all thrilled to attend and represent SJA! After some much-needed March Break, students wore red on Ability Awareness Day and then wore green/blue and celebrated Earth Day. We extend a sincere thank you to parents who attended Parent-Teacher Conferences and Interviews and the Grade 6 Exhibition Info Session. Returning to more inschool events, we were excited to have the Spelling Bee Competitions and Grade 6 IB Exhibition in school. We are excited to come together once again as a community as we host our DYNAMI Parent/Staff social event on May 10, 2022. We are so grateful to all of our students and parents who have supported us as we transitioned back to in-school learning – the excitement of being together this month was palpable. Many Student Life events are planned for May and we are looking forward to watching our JK to Grade 8 students as they dance, sing and perform during their live Arts Nights in May. In addition, our 2022 SJA Arts Showcase website, Imaginarium (JK to Grade12), will launch on May 16 and run until the end of school. We can’t wait to see you at the upcoming planned events in May and June!
