Protect MI Child Website

Most of us have received e-mails from companies trying to sell us things. Now, more and more, these companies are using cell phone and instant messaging to try to advertise or sell their products. Children are forbidden from purchasing certain products under Michigan Law. The Protect MI Child website allows you to register your e-mail, cell number, etc. that a child might have access to. Once registered, senders of these types of messages must remove the registered contact info. Please click on the above link for more information.

SCMS Blood Drive

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime. National Junior Honor Society is sponsoring our annual blood drive at SCMS on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 from 2:00 pm to 7:30pm. Please consider donating by either just stopping in or clicking on the flowing link to make an appointment

PTO Box Top Drive

In the Fall our PTO Box Top Drive raised over $1100 for SCMS (I had no idea that Box Tops could be worth so much money). Because of the success, we will be having another Box Top Drive February 3rd through the 7th. Please help us by sending in your Box Tops with your SCMS student to give to their first hour teacher. In and all help is appreciated. Thank you in advance

2014 Geography Bee

All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students recently participated in the National Geographic Bee in their Social Studies classes. The top two students from each class competed against each other in the SCMS Media Center. Oral questions from the National Geographic Society booklet were asked to each student. After many questions on a variety of topics such as U.S. Geography, U.S. Cities, U.S. History to information on the 7 continents, only the following 8 students remained for the final round: Sarah Sepke (6th), Luke Jolly (7th), Billy Schunk (6th), Jimmy DeVolder (6th), Devon Peters (8th), Dylan Rock (7th), Cody Rusnell (8th), & Brennen Buckley (8th) Only Cody Rusnell and Jimmy DeVolder remained for the Championship round which consisted of the following 3 questions: 1. The city of Portland is the eastern terminus for an oil pipeline that connects with Montreal, Canada. Portland is located on Casco Bay in which New England State? 2. The Potomac River rises in the Allegheny Plateau and empties into what large bay? 3. The Taklimakan (TAH-kluh-muh-KAHN) Desert, home to the Uyghur (WEE-ghur) people, is located north of the Kunlun Mountains in which Asian country? (answers: Maine, Chesapeake Bay, China) 8th grader Cody Rusnell won the competition after answering 2/3 questions correctly. Cody will now take a written exam to try and qualify for the State competition on April 4th. Good luck Cody!
