At the onset of the recent 2^nd Annual Jazz Festival, SAS students put on a show of their own. They eagerly displayed some of the mechanical-engineering skills acquired through school courses and clubs centered on STEM and robotics education. Guests at the event had the opportunity to meet students who built their own robots and enthusiastically explained how they function. The fundraiser was a special evening of great food and great music, with dinner by Carrabbas Italian Grill and jazz by world-renowned bass guitarist Gerald Veasley, accompanied by several local musical artists, including vocalist Danielle Evans, saxophonist Malik Clanton, keyboard player Daniel Pugh and drummer Jose Varona. The SAS high school band led the musical portion of the event, with Believer by Imagine Dragons, arranged by Kelly and Carlson, under the direction of music teacher Ms. Lexi Carlson. We thank everyone who made this special event possible—sponsors, parents, students and staff—and we look forward to next year’s event!

Celebrating the school year’s first Students of the Month, SAS Middle School staff and administrators recently awarded select students certificates for their hard work and achievement in core classes, along with special presentations for classes called “specials.” The monthly ceremony provides a great opportunity for faculty and students to recognize the amazing efforts of our Atoms. In addition to student awards, a special award was given to Ms. IIlynn McLauren for her outstanding demonstration of citizenship. Keep up the great work, Atoms!
