Walkin' on Sunshine

It was the perfect day for the Walk-a-Thon! Thank you to all of our Ravens for hitting the pavement and raising funds for SRLA. And thank you to our tremendous parent volunteers for making it happen!

Student Council Elections

Candidates for SRLA's 2022-2023 Student Council gave their stump speeches to the 5th through 8th grades on Thursday. They all did a great job, and we wish them luck in today's election!

Celebrating Fall

Students were treated with a trip to the pumpkin patch and petting zoo in Sr. Sandy's garden on Monday! They met with some friendly goats, sheep, rabbits, and alpaca, and younger grades picked out the perfect pumpkins to take home.

Thanks to SRLA's Fa-boo-lous Families

Thank you to everyone who donated to Jersey Care's Halloween Costume Drive. More than 11 large bags of costumes will be distributed to kids in our neighboring communities in time for a Happy Halloween!

And Thanks for the FFTF Fun!

And more thanks to all for coming out and supporting the Fall Food Truck Festival last Friday night!

A major round of applause to our FFTF Co-chairs, Jennifer Coleman and Mara Sirhal, and to the Badim, Giannetti, and Uzzolino families for making our 50/50 raffle the highlight of the night!

And a very special thank you to our SRLA Family Sponsors. We are so grateful for the generous and giving spirit of our school community!
