Macy Troup was recognized as our Citizen of the Month at last night’s school board meeting. She consistently demonstrates outstanding character, responsibility, and kindness, making a positive impact on our school community every day. We are proud to celebrate her achievement!
Learning looks even better outdoors! Ms. Merook’s class earned a Good Behavior Pick and celebrated with a nature walk, spotting frogs, toads, egg sacs, and even a snake on a beautiful day full of fun and exploration. Meanwhile, Ms. Maley’s 2nd grade class took their talents outside, soaking up the sunshine during music class. The birds, worms, and butterflies were the perfect audience! 🎶🌿
The Class of 2029 recently hosted the annual Daddy Daughter Dance. The evening was filled with smiles, dancing, snacks, sparkle, and special moments. The girls enjoyed photo opportunities, dancing the night away, tasty treats, hair tinsel, and lots of glitter with their favorite guys at the Daddy Daughter Dance. The event was held as a fundraiser for the Class of 2029. ✨
Congratulations to Rose Breskiewicz, who earned 1st Place in the Bloomsburg American Legion Auxiliary Art Contest. Her artwork powerfully captured the symbolism of the poppy, honoring those who gave their lives so that we can live ours in freedom.
We also want to recognize Sutton Andrews and Eli Haas for their participation and for earning placements in the contest. We are incredibly proud of all of our students for using their creativity to remember, reflect, and show gratitude for the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes.

On Friday, the Class of 2027 hosted Southern Columbia’s 2nd annual Kindergarten Prom, creating a fun experience for the district’s youngest students. Organized by junior class advisors along with several dedicated juniors, the event was designed to bring kindergarteners together to interact, build friendships, and practice social skills outside of the classroom. The prom featured a variety of activities to keep the children engaged, including flowers, coloring stations, face painting, snacks, drinks, and exciting raffle baskets. This event created lasting memories for both the young students and the high school volunteers.
