Charger News: SCS Weekly Announcements
|
|
|
*New* Charger News Text Message Notifications
|
|
|
As mentioned above, in the communications survey we heard from many of you that you would like text message notifications to keep you up to date on school news and events. We have found a service (called Remind) that will allow us to send simple text messages to those who sign up to receive them.
This service will be completely optional, we will only add you if you request access. We have no plans to use this service for emergency alerts. We will start with just weekly notifications about new editions of Charger News.
If you would like to sign up for text notifications from SCS, text "@chargnews" to 81010. You can also use the following link:
remind.com/join/chargnews. If you are still having trouble, or have any questions,
let Jonathan know.

Making a Difference in Africa
|
|
Two years ago we had an elementary chapel about the need of people in Kenya to get water, especially clean water. Boni Piper had come back from Kenya after helping build bases for water tanks, and she shared with us how much getting clean water drastically improved their lives. Some of the kids were moved to help raise money for those tanks. Two of the current 7
th
graders are still raising money for WEI, the organization that helps with this.
