The 2016-2017 School year is in the books! This has been an amazing year for the Middle School staff and students. We hope that students take the summer as an opportunity to kick back and enjoy their time off.  Students should enjoy their time but also stay focused on doing their summer work to keep working toward their education goals. Thank you to our parents as well for an great year!

On Wednesday, June 21st, 2017, the SAS Middle School held the 4th quarter Award Ceremony. The ceremony included a variety of rewards that included Student of the Month, Best Academic, and Most Improved. In addition, certificates were presented for student participation in the MOST Rocket Challenge and the Noetic Math Competition.  A special guest also spoke at this assembly. Our very own 6th grader, Naomi Garcia spoke to the student body.  In her speech, she detailed that she was a cancer survivor and that she wanted to cut her long beautiful hair to bring awareness to others who were fighting this horrible disease that include our very own Ms. Knapp. This brave young lady had her hair cut off to give strength to those that need it. Today, was an amazing reminder of the wonderful students at our school. This was a wonderful event to cap off a great school year.

Our Middle School Dean Mr. Yavuz spoke to the students, parents, and families, encouraging students to pursue their dreams and never give up. Following Mr. Yavuz's words, the teachers voted for superlative awards for each student, ranging from 'most likely to be a fashion designer' to 'most likely to become a Jedi.' These awards were presented to each student along with their Certificate of Completion for finishing their 7th grade studies. Many laughs and cheers were heard as students were surprised with their awards. Each student waited in anticipation to see what their teachers had voted for them.  Following the presentation of awards, the entire 7th grade sang a wonderful song. for their parents, family, and friends. Ms. Jones, ELA teacher for 7th grade, wrapped up the program with some loving words about learning from your past experiences and taking new knowledge forward to make yourself even more successful in the future.
