SRO Deputy Meyer visited Mrs. Vallejo's 7th-grade Career Exploration Class as a guest speaker. He explained all things about law enforcement, from training to various career paths someone could choose. He was very informative and the class enjoyed having him visit! We greatly appreciate having Deputy Meyer at our school!
A GIANT Thank You to Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program. For over 30 years, Books Are Fun has been a trusted partner in promoting literacy. The goal of the program is to inspire more lifelong readers by putting at least one new book in the hands of every student, some students could get up to 10 books based on how much they raised. Thank you to Giant Nation, SAGS families, and friends. Because of your generous donations, Book Are Fun delivered 1,116 new books to SAGS. Every student from Pre-School to 8th Grade went home with at least 2 books on Friday! A GIANT Success!!

A GIANT Thank You to St. Anne Community High School for hosting our Intermediate Students today for March Madness. Students watched an exhibition basketball game and solved math problems with an assist from the high school students. A great example of the Cardinals teaming up with the Giants. Thank you SACHS.
In Ms. Goodrich's 5th grade science, students discovered the critical role earthworms play in decomposing dead material and releasing nutrients into the soil. During the two-part activity, Ask a Worm, students observed earthworms and then designed their own “fair test” investigations of earthworm behavior. Students first made claims and then close observations of worms. Then, students conducted a simple experiment with multiple trials to figure out if worms prefer dry or wet areas, dark or light. They considered what a “fair test” is and designed an experiment to answer other questions about worms.
SAGS Student Council and PTO are excited to invite all to our first SAGS Carnival! Come out for a night of fun and games! Flyer with ticket presale order form on the back with all games/attractions listed is coming home today! We are looking forward to seeing everyone there!
