Character Education Topic for SeptemberOur yearly verse is Proverbs 11:3 - “The integrity of the upright guides them.”
For the month of September, we will be emphasizing the character trait of Truthfulness: earning future trust by accurately reporting past facts. Our weekly verse is Proverbs 12:19: “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.”
Please read the weekly emails by SC Superintendent Lance Villers for more detailed information. Please be looking for ways to emphasize the monthly topics in your discussions at home.

School Lunch ChargesThe JH/HS cafeteria will no longer use lunch cards for food purchases. Instead, lunch charges will be added directly to your family billing account. Families can log on to the ParentsWeb portion of RenWeb to view charges, to prepay for lunches, or make pay-ments. Elementary lunch charges will continue to be added to family billing accounts as before. If your JH/HS student has a balance remaining on an old lunch card, he/she can still use it until the balance has been used up.
What’s for Lunch?You can view our weekly/monthly lunch menus by clicking on the following link SC Lunch Menus.
Please note on Tuesday only there will only be the hot lunch option for HS students and the snack bar will only serve beverages during the break.
Milk is served with all lunches purchased in the elementary cafeteria. If your student has an allergy, notify Kathy Bowder at [email protected] or send a note in requesting that your child be allowed to have juice or water instead. There will be a $.50 charge for water.
Reminder about lost lunchboxes: When a child leaves a lunchbox in the elementary cafeteria, it will be emptied of anything that will draw bugs/mold and is put on the lost lunchbox shelves. After 4 weeks, if a lunchbox has not been claimed, it will be discarded.

Thanks for Supporting SCSC High School Volleyball girls were able to attend a camp in Crook County this summer thanks to generous donations from our community. The businesses below helped to match funds raised by the team from their car wash in July.
The girls were able to work with top notch coaches from around the northwest to build their skills as individuals and as a team. The camp also provided an incredible opportunity for team bonding as they start a new year.
