SJG Daily Update 5/4/2020 Edition

Star Wars Day (aka May the 4th) is almost here, which means it's time to celebrate that galaxy far, far away. The "holiday" is a pun on the phrase "May the force be with you.” We are asking that while you commemorate this day with your children, please send us a photo or five second video to sjghsaboard@gmail.com. Photograph them in costume or show us a craft or drawing of theirs. Here are a couple links to some Star Wars activities and crafts. Have fun and May the 4th be with you!

We can all agree that our teachers are amazing! Let's celebrate them this week during Teacher Appreciation Week. Send them a kind word, a picture, a video, or be creative in thanking our teachers!

Being unable to see friends or family, and not having the ability to participate in regular activities is stressful. People working during these times is also stressful as is not working. Teaching our kids at home is stressful. If the stress is becoming a lot, we have two good resources below for parents and we have other resources too. Don't hesitate to reach out to Mr. Im, Mrs. Vacca, or I as well.

This is a service that was shared with us. It is a support group for parents. Give it a look!
