Last Saturday, SAS held its annual Gala at the Columbus Hall. The Gala is the PTC’s second largest fundraiser (behind the Halloween Carnival). These fundraisers allow the PTC to directly support the school and help keep tuition down for SAS families. SAS appreciates the hard work of the Gala chairmen Natalie Wright and Kami Zapf for making it happen. A big thank you goes out to all those that supported or sponsored the event.

SAS student groups met yesterday to discuss the character trait empathy during their “Character Counts” monthly get-together. The teams came up with ways to show empathy for others and talked about understanding what others may be feeling or going through, especially when they haven’t gone through it themselves. Books about empathy were read and the groups chatted about characters in the books that were compassionate and caring.
