The last day of classes is Friday, March 27, and students will be on break from March 30 through April 6. School will resume on April 7.
After-school programs will pick back up after the break.
We hope everyone has a safe and relaxing Spring Break. Enjoy the time—we’ll see you soon.

SPRING BREAK REMINDER: There will be NO SCHOOL March 30 - April 6, 2026. School will resume on April 7.


During the visit, students interacted with high-tech, human-like mannequins designed to simulate real-life patients, allowing medical students to practice essential clinical skills. These advanced models can be programmed to talk, cough, blink, sweat, bleed, produce breath sounds, exhibit a pulse, and even simulate childbirth.
From behind a two-way mirror, SASA students also observed medical and nursing students participating in a CPR resuscitation simulation. The full-sized mannequin was connected to realistic monitors, requiring participants to analyze data and make critical, real-time decisions about patient care.
Overall the experience was insightful and fun. Suhana Maniar, a junior, shared, “My favorite part of the field trip was seeing all the different mannequins. I think it is so interesting how much technology goes into making sure that health professionals are educated and prepared for any situation.” And Reyna Silveira, a sophomore, said, "I really liked shining lights in Hal's eyes (the child mannequin) and seeing his pupils react!"








REMINDER: Wednesday, March 25 is a half day early dismissal at SASA. Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held in the Gym from 1:00-4:00 pm and 5:00-7:00 pm.

Students explored post-secondary options, learned about financial aid, and heard valuable advice from current SVSU students about preparing for life after high school. The highlight of the day was an inspiring visit from Detroit Lion's player Trevor Nowaske, who encouraged students to work hard and chase their goals. 🏈
