Penny Wars....Amazing

Last week our NJHS hosted a contest to raise money for the fight against Cystic Fibrosis. Their idea was simple, each last hour class would have a container that students would put pennies in and the class with the most change at the end of the week would win the contest....with a slight twist. The twist was that if someone put anything but pennies in the container, that amount of money would count against that class. For example, if someone put a quarter in the jar, that would be a negative 25 cents. When all was said and done, the winner was the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. SCMS raised $2499.60. Great job to everyone, NJHS and our NJHS Advisor Mrs. Walton

Instagram/Technology Issues

Technology is absolutely awesome but every now and then it turns against us. This week we've had a few reports of an Instagram account that was created that is causing us some problems. The account is spreading rumors, claiming to be different students and saying inappropriate things. On our end, as with most "issues" we are trying to treat this as a teachable moment. We pride ourselves with our Anti-Bullying efforts which includes appropriate uses of technology but with everything else we do, we can always use some help. Please have a discussion with your child not only about Instagram, but with all forms of technology, bullying and the dangers associated with the internet. We will be doing some "behind the scenes stuff" to try to get these type of occurrences to stop. Here is a link to some Tips for Parents regarding Instagram. Thanks for your help
