Farewell Mrs. Bullock
With great sadness for us, but excitement for her, we announce that our Technology Integration (and former High School Social Studies) teacher Kaelyn Bullock is moving with her family to Michigan next month.
Her husband Dennis has a new job there, and Michigan is Kaelyn's home state. Kaelyn deeply appreciates the love and support she has received from the SCS community during her years here. Kaelyn has taught at SCS for 11 years. Her final day at SCS will be November 3rd.

Yearbook Camera Donation
Have you fully embraced your smartphone? Have you given up on that bulky camera you still own? We would love to put that camera to good use!
Our Yearbook class is looking for a digital SLR (Canon Rebel, Nikon D3000, or similar) that they can use to take photos around campus, and at school sport and community events, especially in settings with poor lighting. Having a camera like this would allow students to gain real photography skills and experience.
Donation of photographic equipment to SCS is eligible for a gift-in-kind donation receipt. If you need further details, please
contact Eric Warren
. If you would like to make a donation, you can bring it to
Jonathan
in the office.

Passing the Baton
A Message from Administrator Tim Visser
"Relay races are some of the most exciting events in track. The race is pretty simple with four individuals working together to get their baton around the track as fast as possible. The challenge is that the baton needs to be passed three times, these exchanges can only take place within a 20 meter zone, and the key is to never let the baton slow down during the exchange. Teams can enter the zone in first place and come out in last place because a runner started too early or too late or dropped the baton in the chaos that can exist within an exchange zone. An individual can run a great leg of a relay, but it will all go to pieces if they do not properly manage the baton exchange with their teammate."
