The Grinch made a surprise visit to our school today! He stirred up some playful trouble and lots of laughs. Our students had an absolute blast! As the Grinch would say, "It's not about what's under the tree, but who's gathered around it." It's all about our 3Ps: Purpose, People, and Partnerships. #GrinchDay #WeAreSCUC

Get ready to spin, shine, and smile—because the Stallion Twirlers are where the magic happens! Whether it’s mastering new tricks, building confidence, or just having a blast with friends, this team knows how to light up the room. As we like to say, “Twirling isn’t a hobby. It’s a way of life.”
A huge thank-you to Ms. Aldis and Mrs. Paulson for keeping our batons (and our spirits!) twirling. You make the fun go ’round!

Sterling Hicks, a dedicated member of Cub Scout Pack 343, has generously donated two boxes of popcorn to our campus! Sterling's thoughtful gesture is a delightful treat for our hardworking educators, proving once again that heroes don’t always wear capes—sometimes they just show up with snacks. 🍿
A huge thank-you to Sterling for bringing a little extra joy (and crunch!) to our school day.

Parades, concerts, and most of all, thank-yous, were the focus of campus Veterans Day observances throughout SCUC leading up to the observance on November 11th. Processions were held through the halls of some campuses; students beamed with pride as they walked with parents, grandparents and other family members who currently serve or have served in the United States military.
Meanwhile, Samuel Clemens High School Air Force and Byron P. Steele High School JROTC cadets led the yearly observance at their respective campuses. Family members, many of them military-connected, watched as school choirs paid tribute to their guests with patriotic songs and expressions of gratitude for their service.
Veterans Day, first recognized as Armistice Day after World War I, reminds us of the men and women who serve to protect the nation from enemies, foreign and domestic. They trade comfort for duty, endure long deployments, often to volatile locales around the world. These sacrifices are felt by the service members themselves, and by their families at home.
SCUC is grateful and proud to be a military-connected school district, with approximately 40 percent of its enrollment tied to current or former military veterans. We express our deepest thanks for those who volunteer to serve to keep our nation safe and free.

From the Cat in the Hat to Harry Potter, Sippel's Character Parade was a total treat! Our students and staff brought their favorite stories to life with costumes that were clever, colorful, and downright fang-tastic. No tricks here, just a whole lot of literary love!
Why did the ghost go to school? Because he wanted to be a little boo-k smart! 👻 📚

Students are learning about two awesome elements of art — Form and Value! Using a pumpkin patch as inspiration, they’re practicing how to add highlights and shadows to make their drawings look round and three-dimensional. With glowing highlights and deep autumn shadows, our young artists are making their pumpkins pop right off the page. Art is awesome!
