REECE KOLAR
At SCS, we are more than just a school community ~ we are part of an extended family. One of our family members needs our help.
Reece Kolar, from our K5 class, was recently diagnosed with a serious illness that requires significant medical attention. Reece and his family will be traveling out of state for medical treatments for an undetermined amount of time. We are asking that you add Reece and his family to your daily prayers, as prayers are ALWAYS welcome and appreciated.
In addition to our daily prayers, SCS and the PSA are offering various ways
to show support for Reece and his family, as they begin this journey.
Gray Bracelets
#ReecesLegion bracelets can be purchased for $5 each. These bracelets may be worn to school. Please send payment to the front office labeled "Reece's bracelet". All proceeds will be donated to the Kolar family.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD - UPDATE
I wanted to take this opportunity to THANK YOU and your church/organization for your involvement in packing and collecting shoe boxes in 2017. I also wanted to share some exciting news about the involvement of churches here in Berkeley, Dorchester and Orangeburg counties (Palmetto SC Area Team) and the impact that simple shoebox gifts are having around the world!
With your partnership The Palmetto SC Area team surpassed our goal and collected 21,058 shoebox gifts. That's 21,058 opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus with children around the world! This is a critical part of the more than 8.8 million shoebox gifts that were collected throughout the US; for a grand total of over 11 million from all the sending countries nationwide.
Wow! Imagine over 11 million children will receive a gift and have the opportunity to hear the Gospel, and many will have the chance to connect with a local church for on-going follow up to be involved in the 12 week discipleship program, "The Greatest Journey". Every shoebox gift becomes a Gospel Opportunity to a child, a family and a community.
