This month we celebrate Joy. We learned last year that the way to have Joy was to follow the acronym J- Jesus first, O- Others second, Y- Yourself last. When we put Jesus first everything else else has order.This month we will learn what Christian Joy really is. It is not getting everything you want or being the best. It is being joyful because Jesus is the center of your life. When things happen you have a foundation of faith to rely on. Our joy at SSA is partnering with you to build a strong faith foundation for your children.Blessing of the AnimalsTomorrow morning will will NOT have traditional drop-off.Please park and walk your child in to school.Blessing of the Animals will begin at 8:15 am.If you are bringing an animal we ask that you walk the animal around the outside of the building to the field. Please DO NOT bring your pets to the classrooms.All Animals will go home after the blessing.
We are ready to plan for future improvements at SSA and we would like to hear what you think will make our school even more amazing. The information collected will be used to generate plans for the next 5 years.
Thank you for taking the time to help us.
We want to hear from everyone!
