Memories of 2017-18

We are delighted to provide an opportunity for our students to engage in the ultimately important community activity of recycling.  We challenge all our students and their families to bring their plastic bottles, aluminum products and corrugated cardboard to SKI where it will be picked up by Admiral's for processing.  Please, no glass bottles.  To date we have collected over 1400 individual recyclables!!!!  Go SKI, and keep making htis beautiful island even more so!!!

New Rock Climbing Wall at SKI Academy

The students are greatly enjoying the newly installed rock wall that was put in place by good friends to the school, Pastor Brandon Grayson an his friend Matt. We look forward to further developing the wall in the very near future!

All the students of SKI Academy were out to help clean the beach by "Snapper" this past Tuesday.  We collected hundreds of pieces of plastic and trash that were either in the sea, or on their way to the sea.  By taking actual steps to ensure our water ways and beaches are clean, we are all lending a hand to keep St. Kitts and Nevis beautiful! Thanks to the parents for giving support and to the students at SKI who are always willing to be responsible citizens of this, our one Earth!

Nevis Field Trip a Great Success!!!

     The students and staff of Grades 4-8 enjoyed a wonderful visit to our sister isle, Nevis, on the last day of Term 1 and visited some very important historical sites including the birthplace of our very own Alexander Hamilton as well as the Nevisian Heritage Village.

     A fun and exciting boat ride took us all to the island and the ministry of education buses collected us at the boat terminal and escorted us all around this beautiful island.

CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Tahiyat Chy who represented SKI Academy with grace and poise as she finished tied for 2nd place overall in the national Spelling Bee last night at the ECCB!  We are all very proud of Tahiyat and her efforts - she is truly a SKI champion!!

It’s spring cleaning time and our Junior Student Council, along with all SKI students will be hosting a Used Goods Drive. For two weeks, running from June 11^th- 22^nd, students are asked to bring in any used goods they have and as a school, SKI Academy will be donating all items to our community members in need. There are a wide variety of items requested such as:

clothing (all sizes), linens, towels, footwear, toys and books. As always, we look forward to your support for such a wonderful event.

Happy Cleaning,

SKI Junior Student Council

SKI Academy Football vs. ICCS Friendly:

SKI Academy Football Season Concludes:

It has been a short but action packed football season this term! Thank you for all your support over the course of the past three months and I hope to see EVERYONE out for our football parent-teacher-player challenge in January.  There will be more details to come, but for the newbies we get together after the season concludes to award certificates, have a BBQ, play a match against their parents and teachers, and reward the students for their hard work, diligence, and fair play.

We had a new young team in the Primary School with only four returning players, but there was great development and love for the game!  Please encourage your children to join GOALS or another football training club in order to practice year round.  It works!

We were lucky to be invited out to play Under 14 this year and after a few hiccups, we found it to be both exciting and great training for our players.  We look forward to expanding such tournaments in the future. Once again, thanks for your support!

Well done SKI!
