Happy National Boss's Day to our fearless leaders, Principal Roberts and Assistant Principal Hiponia, as we navigate uncharted territories this school year. This school year we started with a blank canvas, with a lot of uncertainties and questions about what this year would be like. With your determination, bold strokes, and creativity, this canvas is turning into a beautiful piece of art that reflects safety, learning, and the joy that comes from being a part of the SJA community. Thank you for your countless hours and dedication as we become God's masterpiece.
