🌟 Building Community, One Conversation at a Time! 🌟

Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students spent their last period together on Friday taking part in a fun People Scavenger Hunt!

Students had to mingle, ask questions, and get to know one another as they searched for a classmate or teacher who matched each clue. It was a great way to get students talking, laughing, and learning something new about the people around them!

This year at SASP, with the help of our new SEL curriculum, Harmony Academy, we are intentionally focusing on building strong classroom communities and a supportive school culture. Activities like this help our students develop connections, practice communication, and create a school environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and included.

We are excited to see our “Together, We Rise” theme come to life as our students learn, connect, and grow together! ☘️

Question for our families and followers: What is one fun or interesting question you would ask someone if you wanted to get to know them better? Drop it in the comments...

Yesterday was filled with smiles, excitement, new beginnings, and so much energy throughout our halls! Our students and teachers jumped right into the new school year, and we couldn’t be more excited for all that is ahead.

We were also lucky to have two very special visitors stop by to say hello—Father Brian and Superintendent Greg Richmond! Thank you both for taking the time to welcome our students and staff and help make our first day extra special!

It’s going to be an incredible year at SASP. Together, we rise!☘️
