Dear Parents, 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Purim! The joyous holiday of Purim celebrates the salvation of the Jews from the wicked Haman, through the leadership of Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai. At school, we celebrated with a host of Purim activities. Students enjoyed Purim games, costumes, Megillah readings, a drum circle, a dance party and much more!

The SIA Annual Scholastic Book Fair is coming up, Monday, March 13 – Friday, March 17 , 2023. We are planning a Family Night for Tuesday, March 14, 2023 from 4:00pm-6:30pm. This will be extended hours, after school, for families to enjoy the book fair. Please click the link to visit our SIA Book Fair homepage.

Recently we held our Parent and Faculty Campaign to raise funds for our Annual Donor Fund. The SIA Annual Donor Fund is the primary vehicle for financially supporting Strelitz International Academy (SIA).

SIA depends on support from current and alumni parents and grandparents, faculty, trustees along with friends in the extended community who believe in SIA’s mission, to meet the school’s operating expenses, enrich the student experience, and ensure financial sustainability.

By making a tax-deductible donation to Strelitz International Academy, you will be joining with others to make a difference in the everyday lives of Strelitz’s students and faculty.
