Today was a joyful send off as Sippel buzzed with fun and togetherness on our last day before the holiday break! Our Library Leaders kicked off the morning with a festive celebration in the library. First grade delighted in creating gingerbread houses alongside friends and families, while classrooms across the building enjoyed yummy treats, cozy movies, and special moments spent with one another. It was a beautiful day of laughter, creativity, and connection. We wish all of our Sippel families a happy, healthy holiday season filled with warmth and joy. Thank you for being such an important part of our community, and we can’t wait to see everyone in the new year!

Today’s house assembly was so epic it couldn’t fit into just one post! We proudly celebrated some amazing students as our House Heroes, and those who earned the most house points had their moment to shine brighter than Rudolph’s nose. But wait, there's more! Our special guests jumped right into the holiday chaos with musical chairs and races that had everyone cheering. Now that’s what we call a holly-jolly house assembly!

We wrapped up the last house assembly of the 1st semester in full holiday cheer! Our cheerleaders brought the spirit, our twirlers kept us spinning, and our spirits were energized. It was the perfect way to jingle into the holidays! We were full of laughter, school spirit, and house pride. What a fun and memorable send-off to an amazing semester!

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.
