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, “It feels good to do good.” A special thanks also goes to Ryan Davis, Aidyn McHale, and Russell Longenberger, fellow firefighters, for providing information for this piece.

Students in Mr. Johnston’s 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. Johnston’s 3rd period class, Karlene Wiehe, is writing her essay comparing and contrasting "Of Mice and Men" and "The Grapes of Wrath."

The Class of 2024 created large pieces of a mural during their 5th grade orientation; the large painting was later assembled and printed on ceramic tiles. After going through a difficult time at SCA, SCA C.A.R.E.S formed, and as one of their initiatives to promote positive mental health, invited all staff members to create their own artwork with inspirational messages to students. The tiles from the current graduating class (with a hidden message) were combined with the adult's tiles, inspired by two special friends that we lost. The finishing touches were completed this year as the former 5th Grade students finished their senior year. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in this creation. SCA C.A.R.E.S hopes that these inspirational messages remind students how much we care about them while they walk our halls and later as they leave to pursue their dreams.
