Bienvenue! Welcome!



Dear SJA Families,

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a fantastic and fun-filled summer! For those who are new to St. Jude's Academy, I am Mlle. Jessica, the Primary French teacher. I will be teaching JK - Grade 1 this year. French teaching has always been a passion of mine. I love working with this age group. I am excited for another great year ahead. Our Lower School Orientation Night is coming up on Wednesday, August 28th, you can find me in room 29 (please refer to the attached flyer for more details). Our Welcome BBQ is on Thursday, September 19th. I encourage everyone to attend! I look forward to seeing everyone back and meeting some new faces!
