Head of School Corner

"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Have you noticed that SCCS has a lot of sports going on? In this first quarter, we currently have both middle and high school boy's soccer and middle and high school girl's volleyball. We are planning for both middle and high school boy's and girl's basketball for second quarter. Our sports programs are not focused on winning games (although it is fun to win sometimes), but our coaches focus on developing a winning attitude where we show humility when we win, and behave with dignity when we don't. As 1 Corinthians 9 implies, we compete as to win, even though we might not win. We won't win every game, but we can compete to win in every game. Along with discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, team sports teach us how to be a part of a cause larger than self, and how to live with a winning attitude, even if we don't always win. The larger point is that as Christians, we are winners and we can glorify God in how we compete no matter the outcome of any particular game. If you want to see young athletes competing as winners while displaying Christian values, come on out and cheer on our teams! By the way, we also have cheerleading coming up next quarter too...

From the Grammar School Principal

Dear SCCS Parents,

Word of Encouragement:

Jeremiah 33:3 - Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

Can you believe it! We are more than half way through the 1st Quarter. Remember that Parent/Teacher Conferences are Wednesday, September 13th. Conferences will begin at 12:30 and go till about 3:30. Each conference is approximately 15-20 minutes with your student's teacher(s). This year is a little different in that it is only mandatory for students who are receiving a C- or lower in any subject. If your child is doing well and you would still like to meet with your teacher, you are more than welcome to contact your teacher and set up a time with him/her.

Grammar School parents, please remember to log on to RenWeb and read/sign the Policy Letter. Your attention to and support of this policy is greatly appreciated. Also, please make sure you follow the pick-up procedure, following the map on the back of your name card. Please do not drive up the street next to the school and skip in line. Let any family member (grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends) who normally don't pick up know the procedure as well.

Please remember that my door is always open for you to come in and talk with me about anything.

Serving you in Christ,

Rebecca Whitecotton

Grammar Principal

Harris Teeter ~ Together in Education

Harris Teeter Together in Education program is a fund raising program for schools, preschool - 12th grade, in our community. When customers purchase select Harris Teeter Brand products using their VIC card, Harris Teeter contributes a percentage of those purchased dollars to the school of their choice.

Linking your VIC card to SCCS is easy.

*Simply give the cashier your VIC card and our school's Together in Education # 3944.

*Go to www.harristeeter.com , click on the "Community" tab, click on "Together in Education," then "Link to your School."

That is it! This one time sign up process must take place each school year. SCCS will be linked to your VIC card till May 31, 2018.

From the Principal's Pen

We need your help. We are trying to "beef up" our resources for our students in the Logic and Rhetoric School. A list of resources is listed below. If you can help by purchasing any of the following items, it would be greatly appreciated. We have tried to be specific in what is needed. If you would rather donate money and have us get the materials, that is possible as well. Donations are tax deductible.

· The Synonym Finder by Rodale. We need about 6 of these, so that the various language arts classrooms can have at least one. More than 6

would be even better. We do not have any high school level thesauruses at St. Anthony's and students often ask to use one.

· One class set (about 8 - 10) of The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis. These would need to be all the same edition, so that page numbers for

each student are the same.

· We need 2 - 3 copies of Revolutions in Worldview: Understanding the Flow of Western Thought (2007) edited by W. Andrew Hoffecker,

P & R Publishing, Phillipsburg, NJ.

· For thesis topics, these books would be helpful:

o Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution,

M. Behe.

o Understanding Intelligent Design: Everything You Need to

Know in Plain Language, Debski and Sean McDowell.

o Ethix: Being Bold in a Whatever World by Sean McDowell.

· A class set subscription to World Magazine (a minimum of 8 - 10 needed).

We thank you in advance for helping us build a resource library. Please do not hesitate to contact the Upper School office if you have any questions.

Help A Fellow Student On A MISSION

Chelsea Martin will be traveling to Laos with the mission group His Servants Ministries from September 28th until October 8th. The goal is to perform cataract surgeries for as many individuals as possible to restore their vision. The basic materials for a cataract surgery consist of an implant, supplies for surgery and medications that go home with the patients. It costs $50 dollars for these basic supplies. His Servants Ministries are giving a T-shirt with each $50 donation. These donations are tax-deductible. Chelsea will be responsible for packing and distributing the home supplies. Anyone interested in making a donation should simply place the $50 in one of the designated small boxes placed at either Pennsylvania Avenue or St. Anthony's campus. Please make sure to include your name and address with the donation so that t-shirts may be sent to you after volunteers return from Laos. Although $50 is required for a t-shirt, any donation amounts are accepted.

Thank you for your support!
