This week we are launching our 10th year of One Book One School ! At SCMS, we believe in the power of stories, and we can't wait to embark on this journey together.
๐For the next 3 weeks, all students and staff will come together and read the same book during reading and WIN classes
โญEach student has received their very own copy of the book along with a custom bookmark
๐Our book this year is An Elephant in the Garden, a historical fiction novel by Michael Morpurgo
๐You're invited to read along with us! The Read Along Guide was created for families to experience the book from home. You can access it by scanning the QR code on the bottom of your child's One Book One School bookmark, or click on the link. Every Monday through Thursday from April 7-23, a new chapter recording will be added.
๐A special thank you to the Spencer Co Education Foundation, SCMS Family Resource Center, and proceeds from Scholastic Bookfairs for making this possible!

In honor of Career Day, our Career Exploration students dove into the Space Race while exploring careers in the rocket and aerospace field! Some students designed and launched rockets, while others took on the role of scientistsโmaking observations, forming predictions, and drawing conclusions from each launch.
We even set a new school record with a launch of approximately 105 yards by 8th grader Easton Rose!
Watching their teamwork and excitement was incredible! Who knowsโฆ we may have some future NASA scientists right here in our classroom!
The Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Department responded to the scene along with district officials.
We would like to thank the driver for their quick actions, as well as the students for remaining calm and following instructions during the situation.
All students have safely arrived at their destination.
A huge congratulations to the archery teams from TES, SCMS, and SCHS who competed in the State Tournament in Louisville this weekend! We are proud to share that all three teams qualified for Nationals in both Bullseye and 3D, meaning their incredible season isn't over!

Due to the potential for sleet and freezing rain through the morning hours, we want to err on the side of caution. Spencer County Schools will utilize Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) on Monday, March 2, 2026.
Please stay safe, and thank you for your understanding.
Help us give a special congratulations to the students who placed in the top 6 in state and are moving on to the next phase of the competition! We are so proud of each and every one of you!
Tiger Cub Village will be OPEN both days.
