Out of 350 students competing we placed well
in our categories.
We also have a student who will attend the
Florida State Science
and Engineerng Fair in Orlando in
April, 2010.
It will be Johnny Nystrom.
Once again congratulations!
All 7th & 8th students have the opportunity to earn
extra credit in science by entering their science display
boards in the science category for the Youth Exhibits
at the Pasco County Fair. They were all given the
information before Christmas. If you need another
copy, go to the Pasco County Fair website,
then click on the exhibits link, then youth, scroll
down and click on youth exhibits rules. A new window
will open with a printable rule sheet. It contains dates
to register and leave the display board and pick up dates
and times. I hope to see many SAS students' work on
display. Remember your display board, notebook, models, etc.

Reading - We have started reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, and discussing discrimination, civil rights, and social justice.
Religion - We are utilizing Visions and Maryknoll booklets to enrich our religion lessons. The Visions booklet is tied to the weekly liturgy. The Maryknoll booklets give us insight to the Church's missionary work worldwide. We also use the Bible to look up Scripture related to our religion book lessons and The Catechism of the Catholic Church to help guide us.
Spelling - We are finishing the Vocabulary Workshop text, Units 13-15 and the review, then we will begin the Spelling and Vocabulary text.
Science - We are still working on the Physics units in 8th(Thermal Energy) Earth Science in both 7th (Fossils) and 6th (Weathering and Erosion) grades.
English - We will be doing review exercises and quizzes from the first semester the next few weeks and then continuing with the next chapter on prepositions. We will also have another Criterion Writing assignment. This is our second and will count as a grade (Our first, an expository writing, was our preview of the program and not graded).
