SJPDS Family STEM Day

Thank you to all who came to our first community Family STEM Day! We were thrilled to see so many familiar faces as well as meet new friends and family members this past weekend! The children (and adults!) had so much fun with the various STEM activities throughout campus including: Stop Motion, circuit making, building with Legos, making ooblek and slime, coding with robots, building snowball catapults, and so much more!

A special THANK YOU to our incredible STEM teacher, Mrs. Alison Wilkins, and her STEM Day committee for working so hard to put on this wonderful event for the community. It was a truly great day full of fun, education, and creativity! Take a look at a few photos below, and visit our Facebook Page to view our full STEM Day album!

Go Bears!

Ash Wednesday

Thank You, Chaplain Gigie

Wednesday, was Ash Wednesday! Students participated in special Chapel services, led by Chaplain Gigie. They received their ashes or a blessing and then spent a moment of reflection while walking the portable labyrinth in All Saint's Hall. It was a lovely way to kick off the special season of Lent and celebrate what that means to our community!
