🎃🍂 Pumpkin Fun in Mrs. Mac’s Class! 🍂🎃 Mrs. Mac’s Cubs have been learning all about the pumpkin life cycle — from seed to sprout to full-grown pumpkin! 🌱✨ They wrapped up their unit with some creative pumpkin painting 🎨🧡 and an awesome field trip to Mulberry Orchard! 🚜🍁 Our young scientists and artists showed what it means to be Empowered Learners and Active Collaborators, exploring nature, asking questions, and celebrating fall fun together. 🐻🌻 At SCES, we Love.

A huge THANK YOU to all of our Cub families and community partners for making the SCES Fall Festival a success again this year! 🍁🐻 Your support, time, and generosity help us create such special memories for our students. We are so grateful to be part of this amazing community! 💙

🎉🔬 STEAM Teacher for the Day! 🔬🎉 Yesterday, Ethan O’Brien stepped into the spotlight as STEAM Teacher for the Day! 🧠⚙️💡 Ethan earned this awesome opportunity by winning it at our annual Fall Festival Auction 🍂🎟️ — and he absolutely rocked it! 🙌 While helping our Cubs explore and create, Ethan showed what it means to be an Empowered Learner and Active Collaborator. 🐻✨ At SCES, we Love.

Our Cubs didn’t let a little construction or a power outage dim their shine! 🐻💡 Even with the gym closed for construction and a power outage in the lobby, our student-led learning celebration went on—powered by creativity, collaboration, and problem solving! 💪✨ We’re so proud of our Cubs for communicating, adapting, and leading the way to make this day a success! #CubPride #StudentLeaders #ProblemSolvers

💖❤️ Kindness Looks Good on Our Cubs! ❤️💖 Today our Cubs wore red or pink to show that kindness never goes out of style! 💕🐻 From smiles in the hallway to helping hands in class, kindness was shining all around SCES! ✨ Today's Random Act of Kindness Challenge encourages students to: 🌟 Pick one person and find 3 ways to show kindness to them. 🏠 As a family, give back to someone you know — maybe make a card, send a note, or share a kind word! 💌 Our Cubs are showing what it means to be Engaged Citizens who make our world a brighter place. 🌈🙌 At SCES, we Love. Learn. Lead. with kindness every day! 💙💫

This week, our amazing 4th and 5th graders learned all about being good digital citizens — using technology safely, kindly, and responsibly. Then, they put their learning into action by creating fun Google Slides presentations to teach our 2nd and 3rd graders how to be awesome digital citizens too! 💬💙 We’re so proud of our older students for being Engaged Citizens who care about their community and Effective Communicators who share their knowledge with others. 👏👏 Way to go, CUBS — you’re leading the way to make the internet a safer and kinder place for everyone!

🎃🍬 Mr. Scott and Mrs. Dennis had a spooktacular time at the SCHS Educators Rising & NHS Trick-or-Treat Fundraiser! 👻 We loved supporting our high school students while having fun, filling buckets, and maybe sneaking a gumball or two along the way… 😉 A gumball giggle for the night: 🤣 “Why did the gumball go to school? …Because it wanted to stick to good habits!” Thank you SCHS for hosting such a sweet and spirited event! 💙🍭🐾

🦇✨ Batty for Learning! ✨🦇 Mrs. Dill’s 1st graders had a spooktacular week learning all about bats! 🌙📚 They even worked in the dark — just like a real cave! 🕯️🪨 To make it even more special, some awesome 5th graders stopped by to read a book they were studying in their small group. 💙 Next week, these curious Cubs will wrap up their bat unit by creating their own mini research projects — showing off their skills as Empowered Learners and Active Collaborators! 🐻💡 At SCES, we Love.

We will release at the following times:
Spencer County High School, Hillview Academy, and Spencer County Middle School will release at 1:00 PM
Spencer County Elementary School, Taylorsville Elementary School, and Preschool will release at 2:15 PM.
All after school programs at SCES and SCMS will be cancelled.

Please know this is a last resort and we apologize for any inconvenience caused to our families and our community.

Best,
