From the Principal
From Mr. Soderberg
Hello SCC Families,
It's hard to believe but here we are in the middle of our 6th week of school! Each day we are so thankful to be back with our students and colleagues. Our time away has certainly heightened the level of appreciation we feel for the many benefits of being together.
With your support, we will continue to meet the needs of every student and staff member as effectively as possible. I've had the pleasure of witnessing many, many acts of selflessness and sacrifice throughout our building. The flexibility and cooperation displayed by all have opened the door to create an even tighter school community. The Panther Spirit is alive and well.
As always, thank you for your support of our schools!
Go Panthers,
Mr. Soderberg
