Chess to Music to Chorus

Illinois State K-8 Chess Championship Tournament
Two students were part of an accomplished group of 461 students and 48 school teams from throughout the state who competed in the 2015 Illinois State K-8 Chess Championship Tournament last weekend. All team members played five grueling rounds, and some of their matches lasted longer than an hour, making the trip to Peoria well worth it! One competed as one of the youngest in his division, had a great attitude, and won some tough rounds. The other played some clever moves, beat others with very high USCF rankings, and landed himself the 6th place in State!  Way to go SAA!

News from the Music Department
Emma will be representing SAA in the Illinois Music Educator's Association District 7 Junior Festival Orchestra. The event takes place at Wauconda High School this Saturday, November 14. Congratulations and best wishes to Emma!

The SAA Chorus will be singing the National Anthem at an upcoming Northwestern University Men's Basketball game on Saturday, December 5th! All members of the SAA community are invited to come and cheer on the SAA Singing Eagles and then the Northwestern Wildcats! The chorus students are very excited to represent SAA on the court at NU and would love to see anyone who can attend.​
