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! ❄️🎅🏻🎁

Minna Shingara scored the decisive touchdown with under a minute left to issue the Divas' proclamation of scoreboard separation. Kailee Helwig also dazzled for the Divas, catching a touchdown pass and securing an interception in the win. 🏈

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!
