Congratulations to this week’s Seeds of Happiness winners!
Snow day today! Be safe everyone.
Teen Teachers had their second training at SCC today. The guest speaker was Emmy Award winner Thanet Natisri for his documentary "The Rescue" based on Thailand's Tham Luang cave rescue in 2018. Thanet played an integral part in diverting the flood waters from entering the cave allowing rescue divers to safely extract the 12 children and their coach. It was an extraordinary experience/lesson in community service.
