We are off to an amazing start to the 2014-2015 school year at Spencer County Middle School! SCMS is the newest ‘Leader in Me’ Middle School in Kentucky. Everything we do is centered on LIM’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. To practice what we teach, my weekly correspondence will also follow the 7 Habits theme:
Habit 1 – Please encourage students to BE PROACTIVE in completing and turning in assignments as mid-term reports will be sent home on September 11. Habit 2 – As we BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND, an organizational meeting for our annual 7th grade Washington DC trip will be held September 11 at 5:45 in the SCMS cafeteria. Habit 3 – PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST, as this Thursday (September 4) is fall picture day. Every child will receive proofs; no prepay! Habit 4 – Spencer County Schools and PTSO are THINKING WIN-WIN! A community walking track will be constructed in October on the SCES/SCMS campus to promote healthy living for all students and parents. Habit 5 – We SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD by inviting all parents to attend our Parent Involvement Night at SCMS on September 23. We look forward to fun educational activities sponsored by our gifted/talented program; along with academic dialogue between parents and teachers. Habit 6 – SCMS and the University of Louisville are partnering to SYNERGIZE; in offering the Health Careers Club to all students interested in health professions such as: medicine, nursing, and dentistry. Habit 7 – Last week we had over 400 students SHARPEN THE SAW in ‘Grizzlies Beyond the Bell’. BYB offers homework help and dozens of clubs and organizations to every SCMS student daily (Monday – Thursday), from 2:30 to 5:30. Transportation is provided! Respectfully, Matt Mercer Principal SCMS
