SSPJ Student Authors
As you may know, the students in grades Kindergarten through eighth
grade are involved in an exciting project by writing and illustrating a book. The overall theme of these books has been taken
from our enrichment program, "Sailing the Waters of Hope." In this creative writing project, the students integrate their language arts skills
with the knowledge they have gained from our enrichment program.
This project allows the students to improve their writing skills, as they learn what it takes to be an author. All students will be
able to keep their own completed book, free of charge. Parents will also have the opportunity to purchase additional copies of their
child's books, which may be used for gifts for family members or close friends.
Look for the order forms, which will be sent home soon by your child's teacher. If you would like to order reprints of the book, simply
fill out the order form and return it to your child's teacher with payment. However, there is no obligation to purchase additional
books. If you would rather not have an additional copy, please check the box that says, 'No,' sign your name, and return the form back to school.
The faculty and staff of SPSJ are very proud of our student authors and congratulate them on their hard work and dedication to the writing
process!
The Harlem Wizards are coming!

New this year - Family Unsnowman Building Contest:
This year we will be holding an Unsnowman building contest as part of Breakfast with Santa. Families can enter the Unsnowman building
contest by constructing a freestandingUnsnowman of no more than 48" in height. It can be made of anything with the exception
of snow. Entries for the Unsnowman contest are to be dropped off at the school cafeteria between 7 and 9 PM Friday, November 30. Judging
will take place that evening and the winners will be announced at 9:30 the morning of the event.
Still Looking for decorations that need a home:
If you have any Christmas decorations that you have found are no longer a perfect fit for your home, we want them! If you have any items
that you would like to donate, please place them in the ornament donation box outside the cafeteria during drop-off or pick-up. If you
would prefer that we pick them up from you, just give Mr. & Mrs. Morris a call or email.
Still looking for volunteers:
We are still looking for Breakfast with Santa volunteers! We will be finalizing assignments and sending out instructions the week
of November 19. If you would like to volunteer please contact Mr. & Mrs. Morris by phone or email.
