Our ALE students spent this week learning about friendship—how to care for one another, work together, and celebrate what makes us unique. They wrapped it up by making a fun “friendship mix,” because friendships are better when shared! #SCUCproud

First grade is full of future scientists! Students dug into the world beneath their feet as they explored soil through hands-on investigation. Through questioning, touching, and comparing, students observed different types of soil, discovered tiny living things, and learned how soil helps plants grow. Learning is best when we dig right in!

Meredith Aldis from Fox 7 News made a special visit to her mom’s class, Ms. Aldis’s classroom, and brought the exciting world of TV news to life! She gave students a behind-the-scenes look at who works in television news, what a news reporter does each day, and shared some of the fun, memorable stories she’s had the chance to cover. Students were engaged, curious, and thrilled to learn what it’s like to be part of a fast-paced newsroom and see how stories make it to the screen.

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!
