On Friday, the elementary school hosted its first-ever Vehicle Career Day! The event showcased a variety of careers that rely on vehicles as an important part of daily work. Students had the opportunity to explore different vehicles up close while learning about the skills, training, and responsibilities required in each profession. It was an engaging and exciting experience that helped students make real-world connections between education and future career opportunities.
A special thank you goes out to all of the volunteers who made the day possible, including the PSP SWAT Team, PSP Bomb Squad, Catawissa Police Department, M.S. Bond Busing, Weaver's Tire Service, Locust Township Police Department, Vought's, SOS Metals, Columbia County Traveling Library, Ken Snyder Inc., Washington, D.C. Fire Department, Give It A Mow, and Scott Pfirman. Your time and willingness to share your careers with our students are greatly appreciated!
Congratulations to Hadley Maciejewski, our October 2026 Citizen of the Month!
Hadley was nominated by her teacher, Mrs. Roberts.
She shared, “Hadley was nominated because of her hard work, dedication, and kindness to her peers. She is a great leader within my classroom and is always willing to help anyone who is in need. Hadley faces all challenges with a smile and works hard to put her best self forward. I'm so lucky to have her in my class, and I'm beyond proud of her!”
Congratulations, Hadley, on this well-deserved recognition!
Each year, the Southern Columbia High School Student Council hosts its Change Wars Fundraiser to support a local family in need. This year, we are honored to support the Harmon Family. Malania Harmon, a 9th-grade student at Southern Columbia, was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma and is currently receiving treatment at Janet Weis Children's Hospital in Danville. Her parents, Ashley and Drew, are both employees of the Southern Columbia Area School District.
ONLY A FEW DAYS REMAIN TO DONATE!
The competition is open to all homerooms in grades K-12. Through Friday, October 23, homerooms are encouraged to collect and bring in spare change to support the Harmon Family. The deadline is quickly approaching, and every donation, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference.
The homeroom in each building that collects the most change will earn a prize! Let's finish strong and show the strength, generosity, and compassion of the Southern Columbia community. Every coin counts!
Families residing within the Southern Columbia Area School District are invited to enjoy a fun-filled evening of candy, games, prizes, and more!

Students used the picnic tables to practice writing complete sentences while observing the changing colors of the trees around them. Hands-on learning and real-world observations helped bring their fall writing lesson to life. ✏️

Thank you to the first responders who took time out of their schedules to visit with our students and staff. We appreciate your service, commitment, and the positive impact you make in our community every day!
With the growing needs we are seeing among our students, we are working to expand our successful Tiger Care Closet program from the elementary school to the middle school and are seeking gently used clothing, non-perishable food items, hygiene products, snack donations, and more to help make this possible. Items can be dropped off at the middle school office.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity! 🖤💛

HOW IT WORKS:
The competition is open to all homerooms in grades K–12. From now through October 23, homerooms are encouraged to collect and bring in spare change to support the Harmon Family. The homeroom in each building that collects the most change will earn a prize! Every coin counts, and together, our Southern Columbia community can make a difference for the Harmon Family.
Students spent the day working together, reading, solving problems, and taking part in hands-on activities without relying on technology. It was a great chance to slow down, connect with classmates and teachers, and see that learning can happen in plenty of ways beyond a screen.
