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!

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

[Inverness Education Centre/Academy @InvernessECA]

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

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.
