Spring has Sprung!

A great deal has happened since my last post!

The snow stopped (finally!) and the admission office mailed out our admission decisions. We are so looking forward to welcoming our new families to campus this fall! 

Spring time on a JK-12 campus is always filled with joyful events. A few events occurred just last week, during Earth Week. 

SSSAS hosted 250 middle school students from 14 schools at the sixth annual Students for Sustainability S4S conference. This conference is unique because it is the only conference truly designed for students! Click here for a short video. 

Everywhere you look on our three campuses, students, teachers, staff, and parents work to raise awareness and take positive measures to be sustainable in all areas of school life. 

Why do we do this? 

Environmental stewardship is deeply connected to our values and traditions as an Episcopal Church school and we want our Saints to contribute to a healthier planet for future generations. 

The forecast looks wonderful for this weekend - I encourage you all to get out there and plant something new! 

Sincerely,
Katherine
