Tonight, Wednesday, March 22 at 7:00 PM in the High School South Wing, Tuvette McCroskey (fellow SCS parent, educator and certified life coach) is presenting on:
Executive Function Skills in Children: What You Need to Know and Why It Matters. Executive function is like the CEO of our lives! It is the foundation of how we relate to the world. This topic is for anyone invested in the lives of students ages 5-25. Join us for a great discussion, refreshments and fellowship! RSVP is not required, so please come if you can! This is a great opportunity to join other SCS parents in learning together about the importance of executive functioning (success in school and life hinge on this), and strategies that strengthen EF in our kids.

Each year to help our elementary students get ready for the jog-a-thon we choose a destination to "run" to and log our practice miles. This year we are running from Seattle to Barrow, Alaska (2,350 miles via Anchorage).
We will start on Monday, March 27 and go through Wednesday, May 3rd. Go out and run, jog, or walk (no biking or rollerblading) as many miles as you can and report them to your homeroom teacher. You can count family member miles if they run, walk, or jog with you (up to 3 extra runners). Please count your miles in whole or 1/2 mile increments. You can run at school or at home. Parents must sign for miles run at home.
