• Dressing for the Field Trip:  we've gotten special permission for students to not wear white shirts to the Pumpkin Patch.  Students can wear their RED uniform shirt and JEANS on bottom.  Tennis shoes required.

•  SAA puts on a fabulous Veteran's Day Assembly every year.  If there's a Vet in your life you'd like to invite please call the office and provide their name and address.  They will receive an invitation in the mail!

• Parents, there are times when students are unable to finish papers in class because they've been pulled out to pass off skill books, sight words, tutoring, etc.  I hate to see them miss the practice that written assignments provide.  If you see unfinished papers can you have your child finish them at home?  No need to send them back to school for a grade.
