SCS will be closed on Wednesday, January 17th due to icy roads and drifting snow.
The JSH participated in our first-ever "assembly meet" today, as The Redhawk wrestling team defeated Fulton in front of the entire school during the school day! Thank you to the volunteers, coaches, staff and wrestlers who put this exciting spectacle together.
JSH students who have earned HEART tickets were able to cash in today for fancy coffee and hot chocolate before school. Drinks were three tickets each. Next month, they will be able to porder pizza for lunch!
CETUSA is looking to place an exchange student who is already living here in the area. Aly, from Spain, is an active student who loves playing basketball and is eagerly hoping to participate on the high school team. She also plays the clarinet and enjoys being in the band. Aly is in need of a new host family in a new district. She is extremely helpful around the house, is self driven, and would do well both with or without host siblings.
If you could open your heart and home, please reach out to me at shd.cetusa@gmail.com.
