Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our Kindergarten friends! ❄️🎅🏻🎄
With only 5.5 days left until Christmas break, excitement is building throughout the Southern Columbia Area School District! While students and staff eagerly anticipate the holidays, the focus on learning and community spirit remains strong.
Tomorrow's Spirit Day theme is "Mad with Plaid!" Everyone is encouraged to join in the fun by wearing their favorite flannel or going all out with plaid from head to toe. It's a wonderful way to bring festive cheer and unity to our school community.
We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our students and staff as we approach the holiday season. We wish everyone a joyful and productive final week before the break. Happy Holidays! 🎅🎁
We wish our student teachers the best of luck as they move forward in their teaching careers. Their hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication have made a positive impact, and we are excited to see the great things they will achieve in the future. Farewell and good luck on your next adventure! Southern Columbia looks forward to welcoming new student teachers in the spring, and our Journalism class is excited to continue to provide recognition of these aspiring educators! 🐯

High School Student Council is currently holding their Blanket Drive to benefit the patients of the Janet Weis Children's Hospital and AGAPE. This year, by popular demand, we are expanding our efforts to include Squishmallows as well. Blankets and Squishmallows, whether store bought or handmade, need to be brand new. To best protect the young patients, you are asked to tie your donation in a plastic bag and keep it away from dust and pets. Donations can be dropped off in Miss Stine's classroom or in the High School Office through Thursday, December 12th.
This is the 9th year of our drive, and as a school community we have donated over 1,500 blankets. Our Student Council is hopeful you can support our cause and help brighten the holidays for those less fortunate! ❄️🎅🏻🎁
