A brief message from the Food Service Department: Reminder to families in the district regarding Milk sales. If a student desires to purchase an individual Milk, they must have a positive balance in their school lunch account. The reason for this is that individual Milk sales do not fall under the Free and Reduced pricing structure. Milk is included in the meal cost, but only as a component of a complete meal. The cost for each milk sold separately is $0.50. We will not turn a student away from obtaining a milk, as it is vital to growth and development. They are, however, subject to a la carte pricing. If you have questions or need more information, please contact me, John Rosselli, at 570-356-3457 or email me at jrosselli@scasd.us. Thank you!

Today the Southern Columbia Area School District observed Suicide Prevention Month by having middle and high school students sign a pledge to raise awareness for suicide prevention during lunches. Staff and students throughout the entire district were asked to wear teal and purple in support, as well as suicide prevention t-shirts designed by the Student Support team. As a district, we were able to raise over $1300 to be donated to the SCASD SAVE Club. Resources were available to students in need.

Our Southern Columbia Junior Firefighters are proud to be a part of an amazing program. Being a Junior Firefighter allows them to protect and serve their community while being role models for younger students. In addition to serving their community, this program allows them to gain valuable skills, like being better problem solvers and being able to work well in stressful situations. This program is so useful in providing opportunities to high school students and in giving them a great after school activity that not only benefits themselves, but others as well. They can also choose to work toward becoming an EMT through the invaluable training and triage experience they gain. The Junior Firefighters program is great for anyone who wants to make a difference in their community. As Junior Firefighter Chase Compton says, βIt feels good to do good.β A special thanks also goes to Ryan Davis, Aidyn McHale, and Russell Longenberger, fellow firefighters, for providing information for this piece.

Students in Mr. Johnstonβs 10th Grade Honors English class recently read "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. Students took a test on the novel after they finished reading the book. The exam encompassed plot, figurative language, and symbols within the work. Students are currently writing an essay about the book that is either a compare and contrast essay or a five-paragraph essay on the topic of their choice. They only have in class time to write it, and the essay cannot be taken out of the classroom. For example, one student in Mr. Johnstonβs 3rd period class, Karlene Wiehe, is writing her essay comparing and contrasting "Of Mice and Men" and "The Grapes of Wrath."
