The High School's Journalism class is hard at work! They have already selected a cover for the Elementary yearbook and have designed a cover for the High School yearbook during a virtual session with an artist from Jostens. They are now working on getting pictures and designing pages. Also, as part of the Journalism class they are required to report on and gather stories that are happening around each of the schools. In addition to teacher submissions, these are the stories that you find on the District’s website and Facebook page. Make sure you stay tuned for more stories and don't forget to order your yearbooks!

SCA Senior MolliLyn Petro has earned many awards throughout her competitive Rabbit Hopping career, namely “Best of Breed” at Holland Lop Nationals in 2022 and in 2023 with a homegrown rabbit named Gavin. MolliLyn and her Havana rabbit Blueberry did a Rabbit Hopping demonstration at the Bloomsburg Fair this week.

On Saturday, September 23, our school held its annual Homecoming. This year's theme was Starry Autumn Nights. The Homecoming Court consisted of Caitlyn Brent, Mason Barvitskie, Anesa Brown, Sean Buhay, Sayla Chapman, Isaac Carter, Victoria Conway, Garrett Garcia, Jadyn Jankowski, Gavin Krebs, Quinn Johnston, and Louden Murphy. On Friday, Isaac Carter was crowned King at our Homecoming Pep Rally. Later that night, Quinn Johnston was crowned Queen during the football game. The Homecoming Dance was the perfect way to celebrate the 2023 Homecoming King and Queen, and it provided the student body with a fantastic evening of fun and friendship.
