A quick reminder for all seniors.  

Please be respectful of the time and effort your teachers, the administration, counselors and coaches are putting in on your behalf to write letters of recommendation for you.   A hand written thank you note to them will be greatly appreciated, shows good manners and is very leaderly!

Mrs. Gurule's and Mr. Lathrop's classes had a great time with members of the Longmont Rotary Club who came and taught them the 4 way test, listed below.   A great checklist for all leaders to consider when making decisions.  
  1. Is it the TRUTH?
  2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Happy 3 day weekend!

Greetings SCLAers!

Thanks for another great week of SCLA.

Parent / Teacher Conferences went well.   Unfortunately,  some of our students are struggling in classes.  If you need additional help, please contact Ms. Adams.  We are happy to connect you with a tutor.  Balancing high school is a tough act, we are happy to help you however we can.  9th graders!  You have an SCLA Ambassador mentor who is happy to help you!  They will be contacting you by the end of October.  They are a great resource to help you  be successful here at SCHS.

This week in SCLA

SCLA 10 went to the Everest Restaurant to enjoy food from NEPAL!  We also enjoyed the owner singing and playing his drum for us!
SCLA 10 also had a great guest speaker on RESPECT! JP Butler facilitated a great discussion on respect and got the students really thinking about how leaders need to be respectful in so many ways.




SCLA 9 wrapped up their unit on VISION with the movie OCTOBER SKY and the students shared some great projects on vision! 

 
SCLA 12 has their Capstone Projects approved and are ready to start working on them.  We will begin to feature their projects in the blog.  Many of these projects need SCLA 9,10 and 11 to help them be successful.   Many volunteer opportunities will exist.    They also had a great guest speaker who helped them with teamwork ideas.   Thanks to Joel Champion. 


Get out there and sell some wreaths and join us for Yogurt in November!  SCLA is a great place to be!
THANKS FOR MAKING SCLA AWESOME!
