🏐LADY KNIGHTS FINISH THIRD IN THE BLUE DIVISION! 🏐

Our Varsity Lady Knights closed out the season this week with a thrilling three set battle against the East Arbor Rams for third place in the Blue Division!

The Knights came out fast and furious, serving aggressively and working together to take the first set, 25–12. East Arbor responded in the second set, taking the lead early and holding it throughout most of the game. Our girls fought their way back and eventually took a late lead, but the Rams held on to win, 25–23.

With everything on the line, the third set was a back-and-forth heart-stopper. Our Lady Knights battled to the very end, prevailing 28–26 to finish the season in third place with an impressive 7–2 record!

We are incredibly proud of the growth shown by both our Varsity and JV teams throughout the season. These athletes worked hard, remained coachable, and demonstrated the heart and determination of true winners. While we may not have ended the season as champions, we finished on a high note and look forward to building on this success next season!

A special shout out goes to our extraordinary volleyball coaches, Ms. Hasselkus and Ms. Hess! We are so grateful for the knowledge, care, and dedication they bring to our athletes. Their commitment to teaching and developing each player’s skills has helped our Knights grow in confidence with every practice and game. Thank you for a fun and successful season and for helping our Lady Knights reach their full potential!

Congratulations, Lady Knights, on an outstanding season!

Go Knights!💙

🏆⚽ BOYS SOCCER CHAMPIONS! ⚽🏆

They came, they saw, they conquered! Congratulations to our 2026 Blue Division Soccer Champions… the South Arbor Knights!

Last night, our Knights battled the Fortis Falcons in a tough championship matchup, coming away with an impressive 5–1 victory and the title of Blue Division Champions!

The game started with plenty of tension as Fortis took a 1–0 lead on a free kick. But our Knights answered back! Anson fired a laser from outside the box to tie the game, and Brady put South Arbor ahead with a beautiful header off a cross from Davyd.

Raayan made an immediate impact, scoring just 30 seconds after entering the game to extend the lead to 3–1! Then Hamzah put the finishing touches on the championship with two goals, including an incredible Olimpico…a goal scored directly from a corner kick! What a way to seal the victory!

This championship was about so much more than scoring goals. Brian and Gabe battled hard in the midfield, winning possession and keeping the pressure on Fortis. Samson anchored the defense at center back, while Allan worked tirelessly to contain Fortis’s fastest players. Every Knight played a role in this well-deserved win!

A HUGE shout out to Coach Reece! Our talented players don’t become champions by accident. Coach Reece takes individual talent and builds a TEAM…one grounded in hard work, discipline, fundamentals, and selflessness. His passion for the game, dedication to his players, and commitment to teaching and developing young athletes make a tremendous difference in our soccer program.

Congratulations to Coach Reece and every member of the soccer team. You represented our school with heart, teamwork, and determination, and we couldn’t be prouder!

Go Knights!

Moral Focus Virtue of the Month: Respect!

At South Arbor Academy, NHA’s Moral Focus program is an important part of our school culture, helping our scholars grow not only academically but also in character. This month, we are focusing on Respect and celebrating the students who put this virtue into action each day!

This week, we held our Moral Focus Award Assembly to recognize scholars who consistently demonstrate respect toward their classmates, teachers, and school community. While so many of our students show respect every day, these award recipients have gone above and beyond and deserve to be celebrated!

A special shout-out to Mrs. Murawski’s class! Ms. Lenahan selected the entire class to receive Moral Focus Awards because they consistently demonstrate respect. How awesome is that?! Way to go, scholars!

Congratulations to all of our Moral Focus Award recipients! Keep showing respect and setting a wonderful example for others. We are so proud of you!

Farm Fun for Our Youngest Knights!

Yesterday, our Y5 and Kindergarten scholars enjoyed a wonderful field trip to Real Life Farm! The weather was beautiful, and our students had so much fun experiencing farm life up close.

From petting and feeding goats to bottle-feeding baby goats, milking a cow, taking a tractor ride, holding baby animals, and even riding a pony, our scholars had a day full of hands on learning and unforgettable memories! 🐐🐴🚜

Thank you to our teachers for planning such a fun and memorable experience, our parent volunteers for helping make the day a success, and Real Life Farm for welcoming us and giving our students such a special day. What a wonderful way to learn beyond the classroom!

Go Knights!
