Looking back at the last five weeks since school started we have already had an amazing year with senior survival, athletic events, SA events and even getting a new roof on the gym. At the beginning of the month we were able to participate in the MBA Football Tournament. It was an amazing weekend with family and friends there to cheer our student athletes on as the girls won three games and the guys won two. Now, as we look forward, we can see there is a great year still ahead. Here are just some of the upcoming events to watch for: SA Vespers, 6th grade outdoor science camp, Rio Football Tournament, 8th grade science camp, PSAT Exams, Fall Festival and much more.
 
Please note the Fall Festival has been moved from October 2 to October 16.
Campus Project: Thank you to all the staff, parents and friends who have helped SAA get a new roof on the gym. It has decreased the average gym temperature about a 20 degree. Now, we are moving on to our next campus project. This Sunday, September 18, we will hold a roof work bee from 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.  During this time we will be removing the current/old roofing material from the academy roof. This roof is lower and we can use all the volunteer help we can get.
 
To help out, we recommend that people bring a flat shovel, work gloves and work shoes.  With a lot of helping hands we can get through this first, removal phase in a short time on Sunday.
 
To help support our volunteers on Sunday, Home & School will be providing a BBQ lunch for our workers.

PSAT Testing:
  The PSAT exam will be given to all sophomores and juniors on October 13. If you are a freshman and interested in taking the exam, you need to come see me as soon as possible.  I will check to see if we have any extras left, and if so, then you can pay the $20.00 to the business office.
 
ACT and SAT: 
  Seniors, if you have not taken the SAT and/or the ACT yet, you need to sign up now. The applications for the SAT are in the office. You can sign up for the ACT on-line.  Juniors should plan to take these exams in the spring.
  Be sure to check out the available dates as soon as possible, since sports and end of year events make some dates unusable for you. You can find the test codes on Edline in the contents folder ACT and SAT Testing Information.

  Reminder to all students - Please call the attendance line 481-2301  ext. 115 by 9:00 a.m. if you are sick and not able to attend school for the day.

If you would like to purchase message space please contact The Winding Way staff for further information at yearbook@sacaa.org. Tribute must be purchased by January 20, 2011.
   
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION:

FALL FESTIVAL DATE CHANGE
  Please note the Fall Festival date has been changed from Oct. 2 to Oct. 16. This is required Sunday school day for all students. The event will be held in the campus mall and gym on Oct. 16 from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Please come out to support our classes and enjoy fall festivities.
 
SAA VOLUNTEER BACKGROUND CHECK FORMS:
  You can pick up the necessary forms in the office if you would like to sign up as a volunteer or need to renew your clearance as a volunteer. If you have previously completed the process, background checks are valid for three school years. This means that many of you who went through the process will have to fill out a form again. Please call the front office to check on your status. Thank you in advance for taking care of this important task and for being a volunteer at SAA.
 
GARDEN SALES:
  Carmichael Church Community Services is selling produce after school on Mondays and Fridays in the parking area. These fruits and vegetables are organically grown on campus at the Carmichael Church Community Garden, which is cared for by students and church members. Sales are below supermarket prices. All fund received from produce sales goes back into the garden or into Carmichael Church Community Services funds. If you have any questions or are interested in helping with the garden please contact Harri Butsch at 530-515-9366.
