YEARBOOK PICTURE DAY

Yearbook picture day is tomorrow, Sept. 20th, beginning at 8:00 a.m. Order envelopes were attached to the Charger last week. Packages and prices are on the order envelope. Portrait packages are printed only for those who order. Turn in order envelopes to the office or the classroom teacher by 8:00 tomorrow morning. Students must wear their colored polo shirt for their picture.

PLAYGROUND

Have you noticed the playground this week? Caleb Weir and his helpers have begun building the play fort and will finish it soon. The mulch and railroad ties were delivered this week too. The Grammar students are very excited about it!

FIVE WEEK PROGRESS REPORTS

It’s very hard to believe we are in the fifth week of school already - but we are, and the five week progress reports will be sent home with students this Friday, September 21. Parents, be sure to ask to see your student’s progress report. Part-time students who are not here on Friday afternoon may pick their report up on Monday in the office.

WORK DAY

The Grounds Committee has called for a work day on Saturday, September 29th, beginning at 9:00 a.m. We will be working on various projects and working in the annex building. If you have a few free hours that Saturday, please join us! Many hands will allow us to get a lot accomplished.

OCTOBER LUNCH MENUS

The lunch order form for October was attached to the Charger. If you are ordering for the month, please return your form to the office by Thursday, September 27.

PLAN & PSAT TESTS

Each year St. Augustine Academy gives the PLAN test to all enrolled 10th graders and the PSAT to all enrolled 11th graders. This year the PLAN test will be given on Tuesday, October 9th, at 8:00 a.m. and the PSAT will be given on Wednesday, October 17th, at 8:00 a.m. Full-time students are required to take these tests. We strongly encourage our part-time students to also take these tests, so please make plans now to be here. There is no charge for our students to take these tests at SAA.

WORSHIP TEAM NEED

Our chapel worship team is in need of an electric piano or keyboard for use during Monday chapel time. If you have one at home that you are not using and would let us borrow, please call the office or contact Mrs. Miller.

YEAR-LONG FUND RAISERS

We all have to eat, right? Here is a very easy way for your family to help SAA. Please save the following items and turn them in to the office: Box Tops for Education: each one is worth 10 cents and they add up quickly. This is money SAA can use for classroom supplies, office supplies, and other needs Campbells Labels for Education: we earn points that we can trade in for items in their catalog like books, games, art supplies, etc. See the attached list of products for UPC codes and lids to save. Reasor’s “Best Choice”: save UPC codes from Best Choice products and the school can redeem them for money for classroom supplies.
