Dear Parents &
Friends of SFAS,
Teachers were glad to meet with families at Parent-Student-Teacher
Conferences this week. Thanks for your continued support at home.
It does make a difference!
Test Scores
Students
in grades 3-8 continue to perform extremely well at the ITBS tests
that are administered every fall. On the whole, our students are
testing at or above grade level.
More information will be sent home later this month about our school’s
test scores.

Pacifica Performance To Be Re-scheduled
Miss
Linda (our performing arts teacher) has the flu and will not be
able to make it to the Pacifica Church for the grades 4-8 performance
tomorrow. We’ll reschedule a new date after the first of the
year. What

Student Award Winners
Congratulations go to Erika Torres and Victoria Santiago! Both students
are 2004 award winners in Shankar’s International Children’s
Competition.
This event is an international art and writing contest that originated
in India in 1949. Today the competition has grown and about 160,000
entries are received from over 130 countries. An international jury
judges the entries. The prizewinning entries are compiled in a volume
called the ‘Shankar’s Children’s Art Number.”
