We recently introduced Handwriting Without Tears to the preschoolers, focusing on Mat Man. Mat Man is a Pre-K classroom character that embodies Learning Without Tears by using a unique approach to drawing with multisensory activities and strategies that help young learners develop strong drawing and cognitive skills. Handwriting Without Tears is a developmentally based program designed to progress a child's fine motor skills along with visual skills through fun and interactive activities.

We didn't have anyone sign up for the Ag Day at SCC on Wednesday, but there are other career exploratory days coming up.
If you are a 9th - 12th grader interested in any of the career areas listed in the form below, please see Mrs. Heldt about signing up for a visit. If we have at least 10 students sign up, we will take a van.
If there are less than 10 that sign up, students are still welcome to attend ONE of these career days as a school activity but the students will need private transportation and permission from your parents/guardians to attend. This is also true if the event is held outside of the school day (students responsible for their own transportation).
