I love walking past the art classrooms at our school. They always have great projects posted in the hall and everyone can see what they have been learning to do. During the day, art students are always engaged in their learning and having a great time as Mr. Shaffer and Ms. Hallam teach them ways to express their creativity. The other day I walked past Ms. Hallam's class, and her students were having a great time building 3D Tape Sculptures. What a great idea for an art project.

The Daily Herald published an article today featuring PE and Health teacher Ms. James's Dance and Fitness class. Ms. James is a favorite among students at our school and her new class has been really popular with students. The article quotes Ms. James saying that she wanted to provide a fun alternative to regular PE classes, something that will get students excited about being fit and staying active. It goes on to say that about 110 students will benefit from Dance and Fitness this year. 

Our journalism students here at SaJHS are proud to announce that their news blog is going live today. Students will be posting regularly about school, their community, and their interests. The blog is hosted by wordpress.com and for the time being isn't searchable on Google, but you can use and share this link if you would like to read about the great things that our students are doing.
