Thank You From The SJG Faculty and Staff
We want to say thank you to all of our SJG Families and the HSA for celebrating us during Teacher Appreciation Week. All of the themed days were fantastic. You all went above and beyond. We feel very appreciated and special. Thank you so much for always making the SJG School Community a special place.

Book Fair Next Week!
Hello SJG Families,
The SJG Spring BOGO Book Fair is back!
Students will shop with their classes on Tuesday, May 14 and Wednesday, May 15. We will also be offering after school shopping time for families until 4:00 p.m. on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Families are welcome to come in at the far right gym entrance and shop with their students right after school.
We are once again using the Scholastic eWallets. Funds can be loaded by parents and other family members onto the eWallet. This can be done instead of sending money to the school (although cash, checks, or credit cards are also accepted). If you are new to eWallet or have not created a Scholastic account before, you can do so at the link below. This link can also be used to see if there are eWallet funds remaining on your account from last year. Volunteers will assist your students with accessing their eWallet at the fair.

Thank you in advance for your support! Your purchases benefit the HSA, help with our birthday book program, and also help stock our classroom and school libraries.
If you have any questions, email sjgscholasticbookfair@gmail.com
Thank you,
SJG HSA Book Fair Committee
