Girls on the Run athletes finish strong at 5K on May 18

 

Over 650 girls hopped, skipped, jumped, walked and ran their way to the finish line as they participated in the Spring 2013 Girls on the Run 5K held May 18 at Lincoln Land Community College.  SCS had 12 girls participate in the program this spring.

Girls on the Run is a curriculum based learning program for girls in grades 3-5. Practices combine an innovative and fun curriculum designed exclusively for pre-teen girls addressing specific life skills through the use of games, warm-ups and workouts. The goal of the program is to encourage positive
emotional, social, mental, and physical development.

 

CDCC changes to Springfield Christian Preschool

The kids at Christian Day Care Center have now become students at Springfield Christian Preschool as the center's name has changed to better reflect it's objective to plant and grow in students the ability to learn and think creatively in an environment that is grounded in an unwavering commitment to Biblical truth.  The Preschool's new tagline, "Little Learners. Big Ideas. Great Faith." articulates the center's mission.  Click here for Mr. Auble's letter regarding this change.

SCS families, guests pack the Open House

It was definitely standing room only at the SCS all school Open House held Thursday, March 14.  Parents and grandparents enjoyed a glimpse of their students' work from this school year, while our guests delighted in the preview of what our school has to offer.  Junior high students gave us a sneak peek of their speech and scholastic bowl talents, as well as a musical showcase.  Everyone enjoyed the last day of the Scholastic Book Fair where students were eager to guess the number of pieces of candy in a guessing jar.  There were actually 131 pieces of candy in the jar.  Four students guessed within one piece of candy so Mrs. Cordell drew a name (of those 4) out of the hat, and the grand prize winner is Selena H.  Congratulations to all of the winners, and thank you for participating.

Mrs. Cordell would like to thank everyone who helped with this year's book fair.  "We raised $1,300 for the library and earned over $600 Scholastic dollars to be used to buy books for the library," she says.  "I am one happy . . . librarian!"
