To: All SCMS Stakeholders
We are now living The Leader in Me’s, 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. To practice what we teach, my weekly correspondence follows the 7 Habits theme: Habit 1 – Students can BE PROACTIVE by turning in all assignments. 4th qtr. mid-terms will be sent home May 3. A very useful tool for parents is the Infinite Campus App; check grades and receive push notifications. Habit 2 – Let’s BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND by looking at key dates as we go down the stretch: KPREP is May 10-13 & 16. 8th Grade Graduation is scheduled for May 25. All Students Last Day, 6th/7th Awards Day & 8th Grade Belle Trip will be on May 26. Teacher’s closing day will be May 27th. Habit 3 – Huge thank you to President Amanda Grubb and PTSO for PUTTING FIRST THINGS FIRST as we focus our attention on the upcoming KPREP state assessment. Ms. Grubb has arranged several things to motivate our students. May 3rd UofL Women’s Basketball Coach Jeff Walz will speak to our students about SCMS’ journey from being ranked 220 in the state to #25. May 9th Bellermine Men’s Head Basketball Coach Scott Davenport will discuss the importance of perseverance on the test! Habit 4 – All parents and students are invited to our Spring Parent Involvement Night on April 28th at 5:30pm, where we will be THINKING WIN-WIN. We also would like to invite all 5th grade parents and students to this event where sixth grade teachers will be on hand to meet and greet. Mr. Haun and others from SCHS will lead 8th grade sessions discussing 9th grade information to ease the transition. Habit 5 – Our school would like to SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD by recognizing this year’s nominations for “Students of Character” award: Hallie Smith, Josh Dunkelberger, Maria Hawley, Jeremiah Wafford, Madison Goodlett, Hannah Goodlett, Daniel Seeforth, Wyatt Nation, Kim Campau, Chloe Smith, Alyson Howie, Jack Kennedy, Jeremiah Knight, Grace Collins, & Rico Walker. Congratulations to these students and their parents/guardians. Habit 6 – Grizzly Track SYNERGIZED to win first place on April 21st. The following student-athletes finished at the top of their respective competitions: Wade Hutt, Gabe Bowling, Ethan Riggle, Marquis Powell, Seth Thompson, AJ Basham, Chance Rogers, Brice Roark, Kellan Wade, Mason Moore, Tori Manley, & Jacob Shular. Habit 7 – SCMS will be SHARPENING THEIR SAW in support of Relay for Life. Donations will be accepted during lunch through May 6 for this great cause. Luminary bags will be decorated by students in 5th period on May 4th. Please bring a canned good to hold your place! Respectfully, Matt Mercer Principal SCMS
