A few quick messages from St. Jude’s:
It’s time for the SJA Daily Challenge! Today’s challenge is the Cracker Whistle. Take a video of yourself chewing a cracker (Saltine Crackers only) and then whistling. Then, eat another cracker and whistle. Then a third, etc. The person to whistle after the most number of crackers wins. 10,000; 5,000; 2,000 House Points to the top 3 winners (yes, they can all be from the same house). Email videos to sneal@stjudesacademy.com

Work that is not completed during class time will need to be completed as homework. Students should put more focus into reading at this time. It is an expectation that students are reading between 30 and 60 minutes per day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out so I can clarify and assist.
