Happy Thanksgiving from Seacoast Community School!

Happy Holiday to the SCS Community!  Have you ever considered SCS your family? We certainly do! At this time of year it is great to think about the good things that pull us together.  As a school dedicated to helping ALL children of the seacoast feel part of a whole, we love a time of year when we can do that as a group.  Families today can feel separated by geographic distances or busy schedules but we hope you feel that everyone here at SCS is as warm and comforting a family can be.  All the best during this holiday season!


Portsmouth Rotary Turkey Trot Roadrace TOMORROW: As beneficiaries of this beloved event this year we want everyone to sign up and run!  With over 1000 runners already enlisted, you will have plenty of company as you start out at Pierce Island and run 5K through Portsmouth.  Sign up here:  https://www.runreg.com/seacoast-rotary-club-turkey-trot. OR just sign up before the race starts!   

Portsmouth Holiday Parade December 7th:  Each year we parade our school in front of thousands of people (and prospective families) in this annual event.  This year it will occur on December 7th at 5:30-7:30pm and we would love to have you join us and have your kids IN THE PARADE!  Our theme again this year is "Hot Cocoa" and we are looking for parents and kids who would like to dress as marshmallows to hand out 2000 cocoa packets.  (Yup, you read that right!)  Contact Sarah Fleck sfleck@Seacoastcommunityschool.org if you want to take part!




SCS Strategic Plan Committees are in Motion:  With the new Strategic Plan fully launched the four main Pillar Committees have started to meet and design our future!  The Access Committee is working on making sure every family who wants to come to SCS can make it happen, the Talent Committee is analyzing and making recommendations for attracting and retaining the best of faculty and staff, the HOME Committee is working on finding and affording a permanent home for SCS, and the Program Committee is dedicated to insuring our offerings are cutting edge in our field.


Giving Tuesday is a GREAT day to Give!  How do we do so much as a school and still keep our tuition costs reasonable for families?  Why, the Annual Fund of course!  Because we never charge what it takes to fund the full experience for each child at SCS, we use our Annual Appeal to make up that difference.  Last year we set a record of raising $65,000 from our community and this year we will be shooting for $75,000.  PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY ON GIVING TUESDAY, DEC. 3rd!  Here is the Donation Page: http://www.seacoastcommunityschool.org/support-us
