The Annual Christmas Food and Toy Drive is now underway at St. Jude's Academy and will run until after the Christmas concert! We would like to welcome families to send in new (unopened) toys and non-perishable food items to be donated to local families in need. Food items will be donated to the Eden Food Bank, and all toys collected will be donated to the CTV Salvation Army Toy Drive Fund. We are also encouraging families to bring a non-perishable food item to the Christmas Concert as your 'ticket' to the show. Thank you in advance for your support.

Come one, come all to the SJA Parent Guild Auction! Classrooms and the Parent Guild have worked hard to put together some amazing baskets. From movie night baskets to Kate Spade there is something for everyone, so come prepared to bid! You can find the auction outside of the auditorium!

Our baby basket ready to be auctioned!

Today we began our class clean, work on some Christmas activities, and performed our afternoon Christmas concert! We also relaxed and began watching 'The Grinch!'

It is our turn to host the bake sale this month. I am hoping that the grade 4 families are able to bring in a NUT FREE baked good to sell at the bake sale tomorrow. All items can be dropped off at the classroom. Thank you in advance for your time and effort! It is greatly appreciated.

The afternoon show begins at 12:00 noon and the evening show begins at 7:00 PM. All students should attend. The theme this year is ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas!’ We have begun practicing with Mr. Oliver and the other grade 4 class. We are singing ‘You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch’ and playing ‘Jingle Bells’ on the recorder. Just a reminder that our costumes will be the grey school uniform pants/skirts, a plain green shirt (if possible!!), a scarf, and a winter hat (Christmas themed or not). SJA Parent Guild will also be auctioning off the baskets that each classroom put together and there will be light refreshments. It is bound to be a wonderful night!!
