Hello and happy Friday!

Check out the great photos below from some of the many events that made this week a great one.

Thanks to everyone who submitted the Bike Week form already. The link is below if you haven't yet had a chance to fill out the survey and submit it.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend,

Tracey

The 5th graders had a fantastic week at Keewaydin Environmental Education Center. They learned about community, basic needs, the water cycle, air cycle, soil cycle, FBI (ask a 5th grader what that is!) and a whole bunch more. Thank you to ACSD Special Opportunities funding for making this experience possible for our students across the district. And a special thanks to Ms. Sabol who spent all week with her students ensuring they had a nice week. Everyone will be catching up on their sleep this weekend!

On Wednesday we welcomed our incoming kindergarten students to visit their classroom, meet Ms. Fitzgerald and get to know one another. Welcome to SCS!

We cannot thank the parents and friends of SCS enough for all they did to make us feel appreciated this week. We enjoyed breakfast treats, a yummy staff lunch, carnations, cards and self-care goodies. Thank you so much and we are so grateful for you and your children, too!

Starting next week, we will be doing a month-long literacy-based celebration of our 250th semiquincentennial of the USA. We will be doing an All-School Read where every student goes home with a book they read and discussed in class and an All-School Meeting at the end of May where students, by class, will highlight something they've learned. We are thankful to our CLiF Momentum Grant for providing funding for us to learn about and commemorate this milestone for our nation.

Bike Week is May 18th - 22nd.

Please complete the survey linked below if you haven't yet so we can make sure every student has a bike and helmet by the 18th.

Thank you!
