SJA Social Media Mash-Up
We will open our seasons as of 9/28, and we are endeavoring to keep our website up-to-date with game schedules. We also ask that you review our spectator policy prior to coming to campus. stjacademy.org/athletics/sja-spectator-policy/
Just a reminder that there are no classes tomorrow, September 25, because of faculty in-service. Enjoy!
In these odd times, we spend a lot of time looking for something familiar. Thank you to Mr. Rowe and the band for helping us out today. It seems like a long time since we have heard the Alma Mater played on campus.
Today’s SJA Shining Star is Justin Fontaine ’12. He is the new head athletic trainer and assistant athletic director at U-32 Middle & High school in Montpelier, Vermont. stjacademy.org/shining_star/justin-fontaine-12/

There is a saying that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. That journey can lead you a long way from home, but it can also, eventually, lead you back home. For Ray Walker, St. Johnsbury Academy’s new acting teacher and director of SJA Theatre, that journey has brought him home, and it all started with a step onto Fuller Hall Stage. With stops on Broadway, concert halls in Moscow, and stages around the world, the trip has been long and adventurous and filled with acclaim and outstanding achievements. stjacademy.org/st-johnsbury-academy-alum-named-director-of-sja-theatre/
No, we were not in Chapel this morning. But if we were, you can bet that Mr. Eckhardt would have been there to tell us the U.S. Constitution is 233 years old today! Fact: it has 4,400 words and is the oldest and shortest written constitution of any major government in the world.
Mr. Roberts and his students have been able to get off campus to rough out the wiring for a new house.
Some of SJA’s fall athletic teams and members of the National Honors Society participated in a virtual version of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s during the past week. A video of the teams participating on campus has been posted to our website. stjacademy.org/a-culture-of-caring-and-respect/sja-news/walk-to-end-alzheimers/
Attention students and families who drive to campus and enter via South Main Street. We will now conduct health checks in the Fieldhouse. As always, please be sure to do a self health check prior to your arrival on campus.
