Due to weather and road conditions, the Southern Columbia Area School District will be closed today. There will be no district transportation today. This day will be made up on April 14.
After placing 1st in District 4, the Southern Columbia competition cheerleading team earned the opportunity to compete in the State Championships. The competition took place last week, and the girls made it straight to the finals after their stellar day-one performance. They delivered another amazing performance on day two, and as a result, they finished 4th overall out of 26 teams in their division. For such a small team from such a small school to place this high in the state truly shows they are a force to be reckoned with, and many more accomplishments are sure to come. 📣
