Last week Janice Tobin and Rush Sabiston Frank, co-founders of The Institute for SEL spent the day at SAA leading powerful workshops for both students and faculty, helping to inspire us to evolve into compassionate leaders and resilient learners. The institute's mission is to empower educators, young people, and parents to transform their schools into caring, inclusive communities.
By Science & Arts Academy  SAA students were treated to an afternoon with Artist Nicolosi, a top contemporary artist known for his signature Pop art portraits of many of today’s top luminaries in entertainment, sports, political and corporate arenas.
Nicolosi ’s friendship with "To Kill a Mockingbird" author Harper Lee led to the creation of his documentary, Song of the Mockingbird: Monroeville Memories. Together he and 7th & 8th grade students watched the film after learning more about his work and life. Learn more about his documentary here. Nicolosi shared many words of wisdom with our students about the power of commitment, staying true to yourself and your gifts, and having the courage to pursue your talents and interests! By Monika Robinett, Admissions  My days at SAA are quite busy meeting with prospective students. I enjoy any opportunity to spend time with new families showing them our school and introducing them to our amazing students and approach to gifted education.
If you are considering school options for your child, tours offered by the Admissions Office are a must for any school you are considering. As a parent and admissions professional, I’ve given, and taken, hundreds of school tours! I am happy to share my advice on making the most of your time and your visit. |
