A Message from the PTA President
Welcome to 2012 Cardinals!
I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and are ready for a new semester at
SCI. I know the PTA is ready to go so make sure you read through this newsletter
carefully. We have a lot of exciting events in the works for both students and par-
ents. OnThursday, January 12th at 6pm in the commons, the PTA will present "All I
Wish I had Known BEFORE my Child Went to High School." This is a wonderful Every child, one voice
program full of information for all SCI students and parents. We hope you are all
able to join us that evening. Inside this issue:
On January 13th, our Academic Recognition committee will oversee lunch
outside for all students who received all A's and B's on their past 9 weeks report
card. Congratulations to those Cardinals on your wonderful grades and we hope
you all enjoy having lunch outside with your friends!
I would also like to mention that Adelaide's Boutique will be sponsoring a
benefit shopping day for the SCI PTA on February 24th. A flyer is enclosed in this
newsletter. Please check it out and mark your calendars now. The more shoppers
we get this day...the more the PTA can do for our students!
PTA President / Principal 1
Thank you all for your continued support and I wish everyone a successful
and prosperous 2012. PTA News 2-4
