Day 3 Thursday June 6

Please be at school by 8:15 tomorrow morning. We made a last minute decision on uniforms so please make sure students wear their GYM uniforms tomorrow. Students should have a small back pack with a disposable lunch, water bottle, hat, sunscreen, and money if they would like to get something from the gift shop. (Students might get time to go the gift shop it is not guaranteed.)

The St. Jude's Academy Mock Trial team has been invited to participate at an International Empire Mock Trial competition in New York! To help with fundraising, we are designing Popsocks for the St. Jude's, Oakwood and Maple's community! The proceeds from the sales will go directly to the SJA Mock trial team and help fund our journey to New York. Help us represent SJA on an International stage and purchase your Popsock for Mock today!

Action

WHAT IS ACTION?

Many people think that Action is easy to define. It is something you do, right? But Action is much more than that. Action is a part of who we are. If we want to change the world we need to start with changing ourselves. But sometimes change is hard. How do we make changes to the way we think so we can help the world?

If we want children to make a difference in the world we need to help them personalize the action they take, and understand that it is not just a mandate from their teachers and parents, but a life long mindset they develop.

Taking action can happen at any age. It’s all about how we as parents, educators, and the community, support children and youth as they begin the learning journey towards becoming adults that are change agents!

If your child performs action at home please send me a quick email or agenda note to let me know and they will be placed on our action wall of fame!
