Chad Lauer, an SCA alum who is president of Lauer Media Company, spoke with Mrs. Becker's business students and Mrs. Long's FBLA students this morning. Mr. Lauer spoke about adversity and motivation, search engine optimization for clients, and their assistance to clients to help them increase their sales. Students were engaged and answered questions posed to them by Mr. Lauer. Southern Columbia is grateful for alumni and community business leaders who share their experiences SCA with students.
High School Student Council is currently holding their Blanket Drive to benefit the patients of the Janet Weis Children's Hospital and AGAPE. This year, by popular demand, we are expanding our efforts to include Squishmallows as well. Blankets and Squishmallows, whether store bought or handmade, need to be brand new. To best protect the young patients, you are asked to tie your donation in a plastic bag and keep it away from dust and pets. Donations can be dropped off in Miss Stine's classroom or in the High School Office through Thursday, December 12th.
This is the 9th year of our drive, and as a school community we have donated over 1,500 blankets. Our Student Council is hopeful you can support our cause and help brighten the holidays for those less fortunate! ❄️🎅🏻🎁

Mr. Mensch's 9th Grade Honors English students took a break from reading Fahrenheit 451 to serve as listening buddies in some 3rd and 4th Grade classrooms yesterday morning. This experience is part of an MTSS initiative in the elementary school. The younger students are working on skills such as word reading, fluency, and comprehension. The best way to accomplish these goals is to read aloud as much as possible to anyone who is willing to patiently listen. The 3rd and 4th Graders found some Freshmen who were all ears! 📖

Southern Columbia's Physical Education classes have been busy in October. Physical activity not only strengthens your heart, but also your brain! It improves blood flow to the brain which in turn increases cognitive function. The brain lights up after exercise, causing your thinking, learning, and attention span to zero in and gear up for success! Here are some fun action snapshots from our classes.
