News From the Eagle's Nest

Dear SACS Family and Friends,

November is here, bringing with it a wonderful opportunity to reflect on God's many blessings! As we enter this season of thanksgiving, we are reminded of how grateful we are for our students, families, teachers, and the entire SACS community.

October was filled with excitement, learning, and opportunities to grow together! From our wonderful Harvest Festival where classes and clubs worked so hard to raise funds, to Week of Prayer led by the teachers and then ending the month with ASB sponsored Red Ribbon/Spirit Week and parent-teacher conferences, our students have been busy making memories, strengthening friendships, and growing in their faith.

As we begin November, we encourage our students to think about what it means to have a thankful heart—not just during Thanksgiving, but every day. Whether it's helping a classmate, showing kindness, respecting others, or simply saying "thank you," even small acts can make a big difference.

We are truly blessed to be part of the SACS family!

As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to take a moment to express how grateful I am for each member of our SACS family.

To our students: Thank you for the joy, energy, curiosity, and laughter you bring to our campus each day. You are the reason we do what we do!

To our teachers and staff: Thank you for your dedication, patience, creativity, and love for our students.

To our parents and families: Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, volunteer hours, and continued support of Christian education.

Most importantly, we thank God for His faithfulness and for the privilege of working together to help our children know Him better.

May this Thanksgiving season remind us that our greatest blessings are not the things we have, but the people God places in our lives and the love He so freely gives.

Wishing each of you a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." — Psalm 107:1

At SACS, we want our students to develop hearts filled with gratitude. Being thankful means recognizing the blessings God gives us and finding ways to share those blessings with others.

This month, we challenge every Eagle to:

• Thank someone who helps you each day.

• Include someone who may feel left out.

• Help at home without being asked.

• Encourage a classmate who is having a difficult day.

• Thank God each day for at least three blessings.

As we continue learning and growing, we encourage our students to live out our EAGLES Schoolwide Learner Outcomes.

Our students are learning that being an Eagle means more than doing well academically. It means showing the love of Jesus, doing our best, making wise choices, including others, and using our God-given talents to make a positive difference.

Parents, thank you for partnering with us as we help our students grow academically, socially, and spiritually.
