Message from Heather Moore, Head of School
Dear Parents,

Happy New Year and welcome back to school! We are excited to begin 2020, a new decade of innovation, inquiry and learning at SIA. Everyone was happy to be back this morning. We welcome several new students, and our students were excited to see their friends.

Just a few weeks ago we ended the year with so many wonderful celebrations. Our Primary Years Chanukah De-lights was full of spirit and the Drama Club did a wonderful job with the school play. The Mini Zimriyah in the Early Years was adorable, and our littlest students enjoyed performing for their loved ones. Thank you to our teachers, parents and students for all of your support and hard work. Here is the link to all of the photos from the school Chanukah events.

Have a great week, E

Heather Moore
Head of School
