DECEMBER NEWSLETTER
Principal’s Message - Mr. Mark Reiter
My last admin message In the year of 2020,
A lot of new rules Where change was a plenty.
We all still had fun In Class and at play, As we followed the rules
In school for the day.
A mask worn on faces Couldn’t hide the smiles,
Or the gleam in the eyes That could be seen for miles.
As our excitement builds And Christmas nears, We hope for happy, healthy

SCC NEWS
Hello Cougar Families!
In November, your SCC sent out a Cougar Family Fun activity calendar with each student. We hope you enjoyed these activities and made some great memories with your kids. We loved receiving your pictures and seeing them posted on social media! Please remember to initial all of the activities your family participated in at any time over the month, even if it wasn't on the same day as the calendar, then snap a picture of your calendar and send it to nickiepynn@hotmail.com. We would like those pictures in by this Friday, December 4th so we can draw for some awesome prizes!
Last month, your SCC also purchased hot drinks from Urban Ground for all staff at Central School to show our appreciation for all of their efforts during these challenging times. We also wanted to thank our students for staying Cougar Strong and adjusting so well to the changes in place this school year, so during Education week we provided each student with a juice box and granola bar to enjoy.
We hope you all have a wonderful December and remember to look in this section of our newsletter each month for upcoming SCC activities and meetings!
