Monday evening, the JSH hosted a middle school choir concert for the first time in years. Dawn Peterson and Matt Stauffer led the 6th and 7th-grade choirs in fall and winter songs. It was great to hear the results of the hard work the girls have put in. The hope is to grow this group into a high school choir in years to come.
All SCS athletic events scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 5th have been cancelled. Varsity practices only may be scheduled and shared with athletes at coaches' discretion.
Saranac Community Schools will be closed Thursday, December 5th. Stay safe!
Thank you very much to Mrs. Mutschler, Salome, Makenna, Rowan, and Valeria for starting the holiday decorating by putting up the tree in the commons area. With snowflake mobiles going up, lights in the hallway, and locker decorating after Thanksgiving, the building will look very festive soon. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Parents,
Students who are in the building after 3:00 PM must be with a coach or staff member. A staffed lab is open until 3:45 daily.
Students should not stay after school to wait for a late practice or game departure unless a coach is here to supervise the students. Coaches should arrive in time to supervise players arriving before bus departures. Parents, please do not drop your students off earlier than 15 minutes before bus departure. For home games, coaches should direct athletes to arrive at a time when a coach will be here to supervise them.
At no time should elementary siblings be at the JSH to "watch practices" or wait until an older sibling is finished with practice.
This is a safety concern, as there is no supervision scheduled in the building for unaccompanied students after 3:45 PM.
Thank you for your help!
