The Tiger Connection Week 13
Principal's Corner
Another great week is in the books at SCMS! Last week, we proudly inducted our newest Junior Beta Club members. A special thank you to our professional school counselor, Mrs. Tracy Jackson, for coordinating this meaningful celebration. Junior Beta provides middle school students with opportunities to develop their leadership skills through service, collaboration, creativity, and academic achievement. Members strengthen their time management and decision-making skills, preparing them for success in school and beyond. They also have opportunities to showcase their talents through regional and national competitions. Congratulations to our inductees, and thank you to our parents and guardians for supporting our students and their endeavors!
We also celebrated our Students and Employee of the Month with a delicious lunch at Los Primos in Waverly, Virginia, courtesy of Pastor Eley of New Hope Baptist Church. The restaurant staff welcomed our group with exceptional service and kindness, making the celebration even more special. Our students thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We are grateful to Pastor Eley for his generosity and continued commitment to supporting the students and staff of Sussex Central Middle School.
As always, thank you for your continued partnership and unwavering support of Sussex Central Middle School. Together, we are making a difference, one Tiger at a time! ~ Dr. Reavis

It's a Balancing Act: Reclaiming Yourself Through Self-Care and Wellness Presented by PEATC in partnership with Montgomery County Public Schools Parent Resource Center. Reclaiming yourself requires finding your unique path to wellness and committing to making yourself a priority. This is difficult for all parents and caregivers, especially parents of children with disabilities. Life can be unpredictable, and dealing with stress and burnout can become overwhelming. It’s difficult to stay balanced and at peace, not in pieces. This interactive workshop is designed to help parents of children with disabilities see self-care through a new lens. We will discuss strategies that can help you overcome the challenges, prioritize self-care, and incorporate it into your daily routine. With the right tools and approaches, you can acquire a sense of balance, peace, calm, and well-being.
