Today the Southern Columbia Area School District observed Suicide Prevention Month by having middle and high school students sign a pledge to raise awareness for suicide prevention during lunches. Staff and students throughout the entire district were asked to wear teal and purple in support, as well as suicide prevention t-shirts designed by the Student Support team. As a district, we were able to raise over $1300 to be donated to the SCASD SAVE Club. Resources were available to students in need.

Mr. Kelchner's 8th grade Science students built and launched model rockets in the annual project that is part of the study of human spaceflight. After building and spray-painting the rockets over the course of a week, the launches took place on Monday, May 20. Students competed for the highest, straightest flight, as well as a successful parachute deployment and recovery. The highest-flying rockets reached altitudes of nearly 1600 feet. 🚀
