The Southern Columbia Cheerleaders held the 11th annual SCA Youth Cheer Night on Friday, September 22, during the Varsity home football game against the Danville Ironmen. Any students in 1st through 6th Grade were eligible to participate in this event. This year there were 63 youth cheerleaders in attendance. Each Varsity cheerleader was paired with 3-4 youth cheerleaders. The youth cheerleaders were able to perform chants, dances, and cheers on the Tigers’ sideline. They were also given the opportunity to stunt with the Varsity cheerleaders. The cheerleaders had a blast that evening cheering on the Tigers to a victory over Danville. The Southern Columbia Varsity cheerleaders want to thank all the participants and are looking forward to seeing everyone on the sideline again next year!📣🐅

The High School's Journalism class is hard at work! They have already selected a cover for the Elementary yearbook and have designed a cover for the High School yearbook during a virtual session with an artist from Jostens. They are now working on getting pictures and designing pages. Also, as part of the Journalism class they are required to report on and gather stories that are happening around each of the schools. In addition to teacher submissions, these are the stories that you find on the District’s website and Facebook page. Make sure you stay tuned for more stories and don't forget to order your yearbooks!

On Saturday, September 23, our school held its annual Homecoming. This year's theme was Starry Autumn Nights. The Homecoming Court consisted of Caitlyn Brent, Mason Barvitskie, Anesa Brown, Sean Buhay, Sayla Chapman, Isaac Carter, Victoria Conway, Garrett Garcia, Jadyn Jankowski, Gavin Krebs, Quinn Johnston, and Louden Murphy. On Friday, Isaac Carter was crowned King at our Homecoming Pep Rally. Later that night, Quinn Johnston was crowned Queen during the football game. The Homecoming Dance was the perfect way to celebrate the 2023 Homecoming King and Queen, and it provided the student body with a fantastic evening of fun and friendship.
