Dollar Jean Day

Many of you may have heard that we are trying out a new and exciting fundraiser that not only is fun for the kids, but benefits the POEC fundraising efforts.  On Friday September 9th students may pay $1 in cash or $1 in box tops and blue jeans instead of their normal uniform pants.  Because this is a trial run to see how the students and react and behave with such an event we are only allowing jeans and all students must continue to wear their uniform dress shirt.  On Thursday we will have volunteers outside of each school to allow students and parents to pre-purchase wrist bands for Friday's Dollar Jean Day.  Any student that pre-purchases a wrist band will not need to worry about getting one on Friday, but they must have the band on their wrist to qualify on Friday to wear jeans.  On Friday we will again have even more volunteers outside of each school to continue to collect dollars or $1 in box tops.  In order to speed things up outside the school we will be stamping kids hands to instead of putting on wrist bands.  Students can begin to purchase the bands on Thursday or receive the stamp on Friday starting at 8am and we will continue to sell until the bell rings and the students are invited inside.   The POEC will be screening the students to make sure they are wearing the appropriate clothing before they enter the school.  We are hoping that all students understand what the dress code will be and we need your help to make sure they follow the guidelines.  Students that are not wearing the appropriate jeans or do not have the $1 will be sent to the office to call home.

Students are allowed to wear BLUE jeans.  Not black, brown, white or any other color.  Blue jeans must NOT be overly baggy, have holes in them or be considered as "skinny" jeans.  If they would prefer not to pay the dollar then they can wear their normal school uniform.  Teachers may also wear blue jeans by paying the dollar or giving a $1 in box tops. 

Thank you for helping the POEC make this fundraiser be fun and a huge success!

If you have any questions please contact Brody or Stephanie at the emails listed below.

Thanks and we hope to make this a fun event for all.

Team Shannon Fundraiser

This is not a school sponsored or endorsed event we are simply passing on the info as Shannon has been a student at SAA for 3 yrs

Message from a member of the board of directors

Message from a member of the board of directors:  As a reminder, individual

board members do not speak for the entire board.  The board speaks through

meetings, votes, and policies.  Each board member brings their own ideas and

opinions to the entire board. If you have thoughts or concerns, talking to

individual members of the board is a good starting place, but individuals do

not make policy decisions.  All policy votes/decisions are advertised via

meeting agendas, talked about in a public meeting, and voted upon in a

public meeting, all following the Utah Public Meeting Act.

The board of director's meeting schedule for the 2011-2012 school year is

published on the SAA Website.  All regular meetings are scheduled for 6pm.

Also posted on the website are meeting agendas (at least 24 hours before the

meeting) and meeting minutes.

The first board meeting for this school year is this Thursday, 1 September,

at 6 pm in the junior high auditorium.  This is an open meeting and we

encourage parents to attend.  Each meeting has a public comment time

scheduled on the agenda and individuals can sign up to speak to the board

during this time.  A clip board for signing up is located on the table at

the front of the room.  Again, if parents want to speak to the entire board,

this public comment time is available.

Individual board members (in case you don't know who they are) are listed on

the SAA Website with links available to send emails to each individual.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or ideas.

SAA Elementary School Choir

It's not to late to join the SAA Elementary School Choir!  The Beginning Choir (1-2 grades) will now be meeting after school on Fridays from 1:00-1:45 on the elementary school stage instead of during music time in the classroom.  Concert Choir (3-6 grades) will also meet after school on Friday's from 1:00-1:45 in the elementary school gym.  Please fill out a concert choir form found on the school website or at the volunteer desks and return it along with the choir dues (10 dollars per child, please make checks to SAA POEC) and turn them in on Friday during choir.  Rehearsals will be every Friday that school is in session.  Performances are scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 16th and Thursday, Nov. 17th in the SAA elementary school gym beginning at 7pm (Tickets are 3 dollars per seat), with a dress rehearsal scheduled on Monday, Nov. 14th from 3:30-4:30.  Please contact Deanna Gardner at d2_gardner@msn.com for more information.

Choir

1st and 2nd grade choir begins this Friday!

We are so lucky to have two parent volunteers who at the last minute are

willing to step up and provide an after school choir for 1st and 2nd graders

like we have had in the past.  Beginning choir (1st and 2nd grades) will

start this Friday after school on the SAA Elementary School Stage from

1:00-1:45 and will participate in the SAA Elementary School Choir Concerts

on November 15th and 16th.  Any 1st and 2nd grader may participate in this

choir.  Please send the Concert Choir form (found on the school website) and

the 10 dollar participation fee (make checks to SAA POEC) with your child to

choir this Friday.

We are still looking for some parents willing to come in and help with crowd

control on Fridays. This is a great way to get volunteer hours.  Please note

that siblings or carpool children not participating in the choir are not

aloud to stay after school.  Also, please pick up your children on time so

those that are volunteering can go home and be with their families. For

further questions please contact Deanna Gardner at

D2_gardner@msn.com>.

Just a reminder.....Concert Choir (3-6 grade) and audition choir will both

meet in the elementary School gym from 1:00-1:45.  Please turn in forms and

participation dues (Concert Choir 10$ and Audition Choir 20$) this Friday at

rehearsal.
