October 1, 2020 - Issue 8
Dear SCS School Families,

Wasn't it nice to get back to a sense of normalcy this week? I know I enjoyed the cooler weather and seeing the students enjoying getting back to some extracurriculars and fun on campus.

It was wonderful to see our school campus so lively after hours. Our 4th-7th grade boys enjoyed flag football intramurals, Gatorettes and Cheerleaders resumed practice and our cross country running club took off this week at Pontiff Playground.

Our PK4 students were treated to a pumpkin patch courtesy of our wonderful parents who said if we can't go to the pumpkin patch, we'll bring it to you!

Please join me in praying the Rosary during this month of October. We will be praying with our students over the next few weeks and we will offer our parents the opportunity to take a moment in afternoon carpool to say a decade of the Rosary with us as well. More details will be forthcoming as we get closer, but your children will be encouraged to bring an inexpensive rosary to school to aid in our prayers.

Let us continue to pray for our safety as we approach the end of this hurricane season and the recovery of all those who have been impacted thus far.


Yours in Christ,
Ms. Maria Ward
SCS Principal

Good news! Students in grades 2-7 can have access to AR quizzing at home on books they have read. Each student has been given a username and password.
Participation in the AR program is a great way to keep students reading and developing their vocabulary and comprehension skills. Be sure to ask your student about AR and assist them in accessing this program at home.
