Veterans Day is the day we honor all the veterans who have served for us in anyway. Every Veterans Day we gather at school and show all the veterans what they mean to us. Students perform different songs and dances. To show appreciation, SAA has honor guard present the flag, the cheer team did two cheers, followed by the guitar class played Country Roads Take Me Home, after P.C. sung Rise Up as the dance class preformed.

Veterans Day to Mrs. Stephens is a day to remember the people who came before her that have served. Every Novem-ber 11th the school gets together to honor our veterans. We do this because there is a large number of students with veter-ans in their family. The school has had this tradition before

Mrs. Stephens came to the school. Mrs. Stephens also says that we owe all our free-doms to veterans. Every free-dom we have is thanks to them.

Principal's Message

Principal’s Message Merry Christmas to all of our SAA family and friends!

This time of year brings so many challenges and bless-ings. While we race around making sure we have the right gifts and party preparations, we also have the op-portunity to look around and notice others who may need our help.

I challenge each of you to find one person or one family less fortunate than you and do something for them to bring them additional joy this Christmas season. If you do that, a calm peace will help you see the real meaning of the season.

Life is short! Please don’t let another Christmas season go by without experiencing the gift of giving to others. It will make your life and the life of the receiver happier for sure!

Have a safe and wonderful Christmas season.

Mr. Pfister

likes to have fun. When I interviewed

him on why he likes the school he said,

“It feels safe and there is fun electives.” I

asked him about what he likes to do on

his free time he said, "I like to hangout with my friends because it is

fun.” I asked him if you could live anywhere where would it be and

why, he replied,” I would want to live in Florida because it is warm. I

recommend trying to know him because he is nice and fun.

Arden Kennedy Arden Kennedy is a 7th grade girl that

likes to hangout with her friends.

I asked her why she likes the school she

said,” I like the uniforms because no

one judges you on what you wear.” I al-

so asked her what she likes to do on her

free time and she said, “I like to hangout with my friends because

they bring me happiness, they care, and are funny.” Finally, I asked

her where she would want to live and she said, “I would want to live

in California because it’s next to a beach and it’s sunny.” I

recommend getting to know her.
