A Heartfelt Thank You to Coach Smith!
In the spirit of the season, we want to recognize Coach Smith for an extraordinary act of kindness. This week, Coach Smith surprised our ID Mod students by providing our class with brand-new white Greer Yellow Jackets sweatshirt for Christmas. Seeing the smiles and excitement on our students' faces as they received their sweatshirts was a highlight of the year. This gesture is just one of many ways Coach Smith shows his dedication to room 75 students. He continues to be a driving force behind our Unified Sports and Special Olympics programs, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to shine and have their own adventures. Thank you, Coach Smith, for your big heart and for making sure our students know how much they are valued!

Alive at 25
Is your student planning to drive to school next year? Make sure they have completed Alive at 25 before purchasing a parking pass. We encourage students to register early at SCNSC.ORG/A25 to secure a seat. Spots fill up quickly during the summer, often two weeks in advance.
Alive at 25 is more than just a requirement - it’s a life-saving defensive driving course that empowers young drivers to make safer choices behind the wheel. Instructed by local law enforcement officers, your student will learn the importance of taking responsibility while driving and how to handle real-world situations with confidence.
