Mrs. Gaul's class is learning about shadows in their classroom, so the group took advantage of the sunny day to get outside and examine their dark outlines on the parking lot pavement.
Mr. Traugh gave gold coins for the book vending machine to each teacher to distribute to deserving students. These three young men earned their coin by being responsible in Art class, working together as a group, communicating with each other, and cleaning up their workspace. Great job boys!
Mrs. Madden's class filled their classroom Kindness Tree by including another student in their puppet show! Way to go girls! Students were then able to put a big leaf on our elementary school's Kindness Tree sponsored by SCA C.A.R.E.S. Each leaf on the large tree represents a dollar towards a charity. This year's charity of choice was chosen by Mrs. Singley, with the funds going to St. Jude Children's Hospital at the end of the school year. Keep up the kindness G.C Hartman!
Kindergarten and 1st Grade Art students created this winter display with Mrs. Brown in Art class. Kindergartners cut shapes free-hand for their snowy houses and created patterns using color. First graders perfected their clay spheres and compared sizes while they explored the element of form. Students challenged themselves by cutting felt for the scarf, and they designed their snowman’s hat by mixing colors. Igloos were created using recycled clay buckets by a group of First Grade boys during their recess time!
The following students were chosen by the Sixth Grade staff at Southern Columbia Middle School as January's SoCo Stars of the Month.

The Southern Columbia Bocce team came out victorious in yesterday's match versus Shamokin. This was the last contest of the regular season for the squad. Each team member was also awarded with their Varsity letter at the match. Congratulations Tigers!
Michaela Williams is at PMEA District Orchestra for the next two days performing with students from all over our area!
Earth, Space, & Environmental Sciences students recently spent time measuring the percentage of the Earth's atmosphere that is made up of oxygen gas. They had a birthday candle standing in a pan of water. Students lit the candle and then inverted a glass tube over the candle. The flame would consume the oxygen and water would rise up in the tube to take its place. By comparing the amount of water pulled into the tube to the total volume of the tube, they could determine how much of the air was oxygen.
Seniors Isaac Carter and Gavin Krebs visited a Tiger Youth Basketball practice last night to talk to the players about the importance of teamwork, supporting one another through ups and downs, and building life-long skills through participation in school activities.
Next week (February 12-16) is Be Kind Week. To celebrate, the Student Services team came up with a Spirit Week! Please share with your kids and encourage their participation!
