The Class of 2024 created large pieces of a mural during their 5th grade orientation; the large painting was later assembled and printed on ceramic tiles. After going through a difficult time at SCA, SCA C.A.R.E.S formed, and as one of their initiatives to promote positive mental health, invited all staff members to create their own artwork with inspirational messages to students. The tiles from the current graduating class (with a hidden message) were combined with the adult's tiles, inspired by two special friends that we lost. The finishing touches were completed this year as the former 5th Grade students finished their senior year. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in this creation. SCA C.A.R.E.S hopes that these inspirational messages remind students how much we care about them while they walk our halls and later as they leave to pursue their dreams.

Students in grades 3, 4 and 6 attended a STEM camp yesterday at Bloomsburg University.

On Wednesday, the Class of 2024 made one last visit as a class to the elementary school playground for Senior Recess. The seniors enjoyed an afternoon of sun on the playground while sporting their post high school decision attire. Best of luck to the Class of 2024! 🧑‍🎓🎓👩‍🎓
