PRINCIPAL GREETING
PRINCIPAL GREETING
Dear Parents and Guardians,
For those that were able to attend our choir concert last night, you saw an incredible performance. Our students certainly were well prepared with songs in many languages, classics about the holidays and beautiful pieces that you may not have heard before. We are very proud of our students for all of their preparation and their outstanding performance.
This week, we have also seen amazing wreath making in floral class, math problem solving and some great centers, games to practice verb tenses in Spanish, structural design projects in Advanced Animal Science, and a lot of spirit in our hallways as we celebrate the days leading to the break. Next week, we look forward to all this spirit as well as many more games, matches and meets as our winter sports season gets fully underway.
Thank you for all you do,
Dr. McCann

Local Food Resources for New Jersey Families
SFAs may be experiencing increased calls from families concerned about the potential loss of SNAP benefits on November 1st. Please note the New Jersey Basic Needs Information Hub offers a comprehensive listing of websites that can assist households in locating a local food pantry or soup kitchen. Families may also choose to access the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Food Bank of South Jersey, Fulfill, Norwescap, and Mercer Street Friends websites directly to search for local food resources.
Thank you for providing these important resources to families at this time, and for your unwavering work to ensure New Jersey students receive healthy, nutritious meals every day.
Clinical Corner
In keeping with discussing the holidays, while they can and should be a joyful time, they can be challenging after the death of someone you were close to. I wanted to share two good resources to help manage grief, around the holidays and just in general. Good-grief.org and the Dougy Center-www.dougy.org. The Dougy Center has an article titled Tips For Getting Through The Holidays with seven short strategies:
Plan ahead-having a plan can minimize concerns, especially for children/teens.
Don’t let other people determine what you “should” or “shouldn’t” do.
Accept limitations. Doing things differently, even if that means less is ok.
Celebrate different feelings and preferences.
Be informed before attending events. Knowing what to expect can be helpful.
Ask for help, even when it’s hard to do. People are eager to help.
Take care of your physical body. Try to schedule downtime and rest.
While none of these are revolutionary, sometimes we just need reminders whether for ourselves or someone else.
