Thank you all for your generosity and participation in the penny drive to raise money for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.  Our student body and generous neighbors raised $1185.00 to donate to the American Red Cross.  Again, thank you so much for supporting our students in this compassionate endeavor.

Seventh grader, Rachel Boggs, has spearheaded a penny drive at Scenic to raise money for the victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Collection containers will be available in homerooms and the office through January 29. The coins will then be redeemed and a check sent to the American Red Cross. Please check your pockets, under your couch cushions, and in the laundry room for spare change. You are welcome to include nickels, dimes, quarters…..even dollar bills in the donation containers!! Thank you for helping Scenic students reach out to those in need.

Have a Safe & Happy Winter Break.

The brand-new, yellow team benches on the football field were purchased by the PTO through its fundraising efforts last year. The benches were badly needed and sincerely appreciated by Scenic coaches, players and staff.

PTO members have kicked off this year’s fundraising events by opening the concession stand during home games this fall. They are off to a good start and are sure sales will be even better when word spreads that they are there and have good snacks and beverages for reasonable prices. You don’t have to join the PTO to help with concessions, just email lryerson@charter.net or sheila.henson@district6.org to sign up for a shift in the concession stand. All are welcome and encouraged to participate!!

The next PTO meeting is October 8 at 6:00 p.m. in the Scenic Library. The group is enthusiastic and energetic and would welcome all interested parents. See you there!!

Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year.  What an exciting and interesting year!!  The four-day week presents both challenge and opportunity for all.  I have been very impressed as I watch our teachers discuss and prepare for this year’s lessons and activities.  This is a professional and dedicated staff and they are determined to continue to provide a quality education and positive environment for your children.

Our music teacher, John Foster, has a handout for students who are interested in any music activity at Scenic.  Please talk with your child and if he or she is interested in band, choir, guitar or jazz band, have him or her get a flyer from Mr. Foster.

Please watch our website for information on activities and events at Scenic, information from the counselor and other items of interest.  Thank you all for your continued support and help; working together we can make this a successful and productive year for all.
