Midwinter fun at SCS!

Inside or outside it's fun time at SCS!  ECE and PEAK Sites, infant and 10yr olds, Clownfish and Dragonflies classes, it is a fun time for everyone as we cross the mid-winter point in our school year.  Teachers have been bundling up and bringing kids outdoors on a regular basis, and enjoying indoor playspaces as well.  Events on the horizon include SCS Board Visiting Day 2/5&6, and Kindergarten Information Night 2/6 at 4:30-5:30.

 Artist in Residence to Provide Music in all ECE Classrooms this Spring!  Local musician and teacher Philip Kliger will provide music classes once each week for all children at the Community Campus for 10 weeks this Spring in their classrooms.  Renown for working with kids of all ages, Phil loves the idea of teaching to even the youngest when it comes to introducing music, instruments, rhythms, beats, sounds, and songs.   

The Meadows Preschool celebrates one year!  Yes, it has been one full year since we opened our satellite preschool at Gosling Meadows and what a year it has been!  We started with 8 children and the class quickly grew to 12.  We then "graduated" 5 children off to Kindergarten and the whole group is doing very well in their respective schools.  A new crop of great kids is now enrolled and having a wonderful time getting ready for their own transition to public school.  Thanks again to everyone, especially the entire staff at the Portsmouth Housing Authority, for making this happen.  PS: We are building a new outdoor classroom for Meadows students in May and will be looking for volunteers - contact Sarah Fleck if you want to help at SFleck@Seacoastcommunityschool.org. 

Save the Date for Sunset 2020!  Our annual gala event is shaping up to be super special and we hope you will be there!  Mark your calendars now because SATURDAY APRIL 18TH IS THE DATE!  So join us for fun, laughter, and prizes of all sorts as we get our entire parent community together to celebrate all that we do here at SCS!  Just ask anyone who has attended in the past, it's the premier social event of the season!  Don't miss it!
