Welcome to 2012 Cardinals! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and are ready for a new semester at SCI. I know the PTA is ready to go so make sure you read through this newsletter carefully. We have a lot of exciting events in the works for both students and par-ents. OnThursday, January 12th at 6pm in the commons, the PTA will present "All I Wish I had Known BEFORE my Child Went to High School." This is a wonderful program full of information for all SCI students and parents. We hope you are all able to join us that evening. On January 13th, our Academic Recognition committee will oversee lunch outside for all students who received all A's and B's on their past 9 weeks report card. Congratulations to those Cardinals on your wonderful grades and we hope you all enjoy having lunch outside with your friends! I would also like to mention that Adelaide's Boutique will be sponsoring a benefit shopping day for the SCI PTA on February 24th. A flyer is enclosed in this newsletter. Please check it out and mark your calendars now. The more shoppers we get this day...the more the PTA can do for our students! Thank you all for your continued support and I wish everyone a successful and prosperous 2012. Kelli Bailey
