Fall Happenings at SCS!


SCS Grandparents/Special Friends Days a Big Success!:  Wow, what a turn-out for our annual celebration of kids and special adults in their lives!  Over 120 ECE and PEAK visitors showed to spend some quality time with loved ones.  Thanks to everyone who helped make this magical day happen as the classes and PEAK sites experienced games, art projects, and music at all our different levels.


Seacoast Wind Ensemble Thrills SCS StudentsIf you have never heard a group of amazingly talented musicians perform "The Chicken Dance" using trumpets, clarinets, and tubas then you have really missed out!  That's exactly what happened recently when the Seacoast Wind Ensemble came to share their craft for everyone in our B-5 program.  Kids got to meet each instrument (and its player) up close and personal at the end, and it was a truly memorable affair for everyone.


Seacoast Rotary "Turkey Trot" Roadrace! Nov. 28th 8amAs you know SCS has been chosen to be a beneficiary of this yearly Portsmouth event and YOU can participate in three ways to make it great!  First, you can sign up to be a runner at the link below - that alone would help make the event a success.  Second, you could volunteer to help Rotary and SCS organize the race on Thanksgiving morning (we need 15 volunteers!)  Third you can sponsor our TurkeyTrot SCS Team led by our own Ben Carter and raise even more money for this good cause!  Just follow the links to learn more about each:

2019-20 Annual Fund Launches November 1stOur goal of $75,000 will be a new record and we are 100% excited to reach it!  Look for your chance to give through emails coming soon - or just drop of a check in the main office or at your PEAK site.  Thank you in advance for supporting SCS!

Storywalk Combines Outdoor Fun and Literature:  Built to have families experience a great children's book with a pleasant walk around the Community Campus, our new StoryWalk does both beautifully.  Readers/walkers can experience "The Old Woman Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything" in a whole new way starting at the northeast corner of the front parking lot and continuing all the way through the book until ending up at the back playground.  Serving as an Eagle Scout project by Noah Viens and designed to be reusable, the project employed lots of local folks to construct it.  Btw, this book is a fun story and a Halloween theme!  Open 24 hrs!

Full and Part Time Teaching Openings at SCSAre you interested in joining a great school and working with children anywhere from Infant to 10 year olds?  SCS may be a real opportunity for you or someone you know.  We have a few openings for select teachers who have degrees, or want to earn degrees, while they work.  We offer good pay, excellent benefits, and the chance to work with great kids and families.  Please contact either Jamie Schaaf (PEAK Program) or Alicia Tonelli (Early Childhood Program) if you are interested.
