I want to give a shout out to our 7th and 8th grade boys’ basketball team. The boys fought hard and won the first game against St. Bartholomew. The 2nd game the boys fell short and couldn’t pull out the victory. The boys played with a lot of heart and energy. We are very proud of them and what a terrific season they had. I want to give a huge thank you to Dereck Hearn and Joel Kelly for coaching the team. I also want to thank our cheerleaders and all the fans that came and supported our team. I know the team felt the love and support from our SAS crowd. Way to go Bears!

Students should not come to school if they are experiencing any of the following symptoms. Consequently, students will be sent home from school for the following reasons. • Fever – Students MUST be fever free, without the aid of fever reducing medication such as Tylenol or Ibubrofen before returning to school. • Vomiting – Students MUST be free of vomiting for 24 hours. • Diarrhea – Students MUST be free of diarrhea for 24 hours. Students that are sent home for these reasons will not be allowed to return until it has been 24 hours. If they are sent to school and it has not been 24 hours the office will call for them to go home.

Because we have NOT had a snow day, we will use President’s Day as a day off from school. Please enjoy your 3 day weekend.

School will be on a 2 Hour Delay today. Doors will open at 8:00am and school will start at 8AM.

Our 5th/6th grade girls and 7th/8th grade boys teams will be playing for the deanery championship on Saturday, February 8th at Providence. The girls play at 11:30 and the boys at 2:30. It will be a BLACKOUT! Come out and cheer on our Bears!
