We continue to have slowdowns during drop-off and pick-up times. If you or a teacher need to talk, always park in the lot and come up to the school. Please make sure you review the video if you ever do car drop/pickup. Thank you for keeping SACS safe!

Team Thunder is excited to reopen the Raider’s Treasure Chest! Our opening day will be Friday, October 2nd.

We will be open for students during their lunchtime each Friday. We are limiting students to no more than two items per visit. Most items are priced under a dollar, and no item is priced over two

dollars. If you choose to have your child shop at the school store, they would need no more than a dollar or two.

The goal of the school store is to provide all of our students with experience handling money and balancing needs with wants. For school store employees, there is also the chance to order, stock, and interact with the public.

Our students are incredibly proud of the store. We work hard to provide

inexpensive products

The girls' 6th-8th grade soccer team tied Fairfield 2-2 in the under-the-lights game at the Complex on 9/16. The City School soccer team's two goals were scored by Lucy McElwain and Ada Booth had both of the assists. The girls soccer team played for an hour with thirty minute halves and half time and the boys 7-8 team played after also competing against Fairfield. We had so many great fans show out, cheering and supporting the team and everyone did an amazing job and worked so hard. Unfortunately one of the girls on the City School soccer team got injured and will not be able to play for the rest of the season. But we can't wait to see how City does later in the season!

Student-Run Announcements are Back!

Claire DeSorgher: Raider Reporter is back for a third year of writing for our SACS daily announcements and our growing team is SO excited! We have two new members: Lilly Dashnaw (7th grade) and Ember Shaffer (6th grade). And three members coming back to write for a second year: Gretchen Chomyn (8th grade), Lucy McElwain (7th grade), and Zoe Daigle (6th grade). We are looking forward to writing about fall sports like soccer and cross country and also concerts, dances and other events happening around the school. If you or your class do anything fun that you would like to highlight in the daily announcements feel free to share it with us via email* and we can type up an article (maybe even interview you and others!) about it. We are all ready to get this year of writing started and we’ll see you in the announcements!
