Our teachers have amazing book displays for African Heritage Month! Grade 8s received books from @NS_EDU, featuring characters of African ancestry under the theme “See Yourself in the Pages You Read.” A great way to celebrate diverse stories! #AfricanHeritageMonth @SRCE_Equity

Ms. Boyle’s 5-4 class has been creating! While celebrating African Heritage month, they created art based on Kente cloth. The class also illustrated scenes from a traditional Métis story. Well done 5-4! #AfricanHeritageMonth @SRCE_Equity
Get your groove on!
Our Grade Primaries couldn’t resist the urge to dance while learning about Chuck Berry and grooving to his iconic tunes! Rock and roll energy at its finest!

In music class, our students stepped back in time to the lively world of ragtime! They learned about the legendary Scott Joplin, the “King of Ragtime,” and his iconic Maple Leaf Rag.

Such a nice story! Thank you Mary!
SAJS was excited to welcome Guysborough Municipal Counsellor Mary Desmond! She did readings from her book, "Good Morning Uncle Charlie". It is so important to hear the voices of our African Nova Scotian Elders, there is so much to learn. @SRCE_Equity #AfricanHeritageMonth2025

Grade 4s explored notable African Canadians! Mrs. LeLievre modeled the TIDE strategy with a Viola Desmond passage, then students applied it to their own reading before writing about an inspiring figure. #AfricanHeritageMonth2025

Love to see students having fun as they learn!
Our students are diving into the rich rhythms of Zimbabwe by learning Dinhe. Through drumming, movement, and song, they’re experiencing the power of music as a storyteller.
