National March for Life 2023
This week, four SAS alumni attended the National March for Life in Washington D.C.

WHY DO WE MARCH?
Even with the wonderful blessing of Roe v. Wade being overturned, which allows more freedom at the state level to enact pro-life laws, the necessary work to build a culture of life in the United States of America is not finished. Rather, it is focused differently. Sadly, the number of abortions annually is still well over 900,000 each year, and that number is expected to decrease only by roughly 200,000 each year in a post-Roe America. Many national legislative battles loom, including even keeping longstanding Hyde protections, which limit government funding for abortion on annual appropriation bills. The Hyde Amendment has saved over 2 million lives and is arguably the most impactful pro-life policy in our nation’s history, but now cannot be taken for granted. Last, our most important work is changing hearts and minds. The goal of the national March for Life is to not only change laws at the state and federal level, but to change the culture to ultimately make abortion unthinkable.
With the role of the states being more important, we are also growing a strong state march for life initiative quickly, however, we will continue to march every January at the national level until a culture of life is restored in the United States of America.
Building Bridges!
For STREAM Day this week, eighth grade students began working on a beloved tradition, building a bridge for the annual Art & Science Soiree. We were allowed to work alone or in a group of up to three peers. We are learning how to build a prototype, as well as learning a lot about finance and running a business. We are also reinforcing STREAM concepts like how to work as a team, how to delegate responsibilities, and how solve unexpected construction problems.
In addition to building literal bridges, we are bridging the divide between us as we quickly approach our graduation. Students are teaming up and discovering all sorts of amazing things about each other. Though we may squabble over how many toothpick layers we should add to the bridge, the Class of 2023 has found that we have far more in common than we thought.
