A Letter From the Headmaster A Letter From the Headmaster

Hello Lion families, welcome to fall! The weather has started to cool down, and we have many upcoming events. I want to thank our upper school scholars and teachers for putting on a fun filled Trunk or Treat event; it was a joy to see the many scholars and the creative trunks.


Thank you to all the families who purchased art during our Art Shower to add beauty to the hallways of our school. We look forward to the placement of art and will schedule a time to tour, what will be our local historic art gallery.


Allow me to encourage all to purpose to have your scholars at school on time. Academic instruction begins promptly at 7:30am for upper school and 8:00am for grammar school; late arrivals interrupt the flow of instruction and causes arriving scholars to miss parts of the instructional day.


The Classical Literature Character parade was a great day of seeing many literary characters come to life in the forms of our scholars; it was a great display of the creativity of scholars and the family community.


Tomorrow is the start of our Book Fair; all classes will be able to visit throughout the week. Families will also have the opportunity to shop the Book Fair with their scholars after school on Wednesday, November 4 from 1:30-3:30pm. We hope you are all able to add to your home libraries.


We continue to push forward into our 2nd nine weeks and have much to be thankful for during this upcoming Thanksgiving season and as always, Go Lions!

Arturo M.

Arturo has been such a wonderful addition to our school! Although he is new to SJCA, he has transitioned beautifully and continues to impress us with his eagerness to learn and to always do his best. He especially loves showing off his Singapore Math skills, particularly number bonds! Arturo truly embodies our school motto, "Learn the True. Do the Good. Love the Beautiful.", through his curiosity, love of learning, and the virtues of responsibility, citizenship, and honesty. Keep shining, Arturo! We are so lucky to have you and we could not be prouder of you!

Wava has been selected for the virtue of humility. She consistently strives to do her best without self-promotion or praise. Without comparing herself to others, she works hard to learn, understand, and prepare, becoming a better scholar for her own readiness and improvement. Her unselfish work ethic is simply who she is. Upper School is honored to recognize so selfless an example.
