Saranac Elementary School

Saranac Community Schools will be closed today, Thursday, December 12th due to weather and road conditions.

We have raised over $5000 for the Turkey Trot fundraiser and would like to continue the drive until the holiday break. Our goal was $25 per student or $8000 to put toward our account to pay for field trips, assemblies, and other fun activities. Please continue to help us try to reach that goal. We appreciate all of the support. Classrooms are continuing to battle it out to win a pizza party, Students who bring in donations are still hearing their names announced and receiving a certificate and a prize. The top lap turkey trotter this year was Anders Wernett with a total of 16 laps. Our top donation turkey trotter was Onaleigh Dalton, who raised $505. Thanks to Pinkney Hill Meats for donating the turkeys.

All SCS athletic events scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 5th have been cancelled. Varsity practices only may be scheduled and shared with athletes at coaches' discretion.

Saranac Community Schools will be closed Thursday, December 5th. Stay safe!
