✨ GRATITUDE IS OUR SUPERPOWER ✨

This month, our SCS Sharks are focusing on the Moral Focus virtue of Gratitude! We were so excited to welcome Mrs. Bettinger as our guest speaker to help us learn about the importance of being thankful for what we have and what we can do for others! 💕

Mrs. Bettinger reminded our students that gratitude is like a superpower that we can use in our hearts and in our minds!🦸‍♀️✨

She shared some fun and meaningful ways we can practice gratitude both at school and at home! From creating paper chains filled with things we are thankful for to passing a ball of yarn to create a "web of thankfulness," our Sharks learned that there are so many ways to show appreciation for the people and things around us! 🧶💙

She also shared how her family puts gratitude into action by creating boxes filled with everyday necessities for those in need. Something as simple as a toothbrush or a pair of shoes can make a BIG difference in someone's life! ❤️

A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Bettinger for taking the time to share such a meaningful message with our Sharks! We hope our students continue to use their gratitude superpowers to spread kindness and thankfulness in their classrooms, homes, and community! 🦈💙

A grateful heart can make a BIG difference! ✨

🥣📦 1,000 CEREAL BOXES + ONE AMAZING SCHOOL COMMUNITY = ONE EPIC DOMINO EFFECT!🦈💙

What happens when our SCS families come together to donate EXACTLY 1,000 boxes of cereal?! We turn our ENTIRE school into one GIANT domino course! 🤩

Our amazing 6th graders, with the help of their math teacher, Mr. Hassen, took on the challenge of carefully setting up a massive cereal box domino course throughout the school! Their hard work, patience, teamwork, and problem-solving skills helped bring this incredible idea to life!

Once everything was in place, our Sharks lined the hallways to watch the excitement unfold! The cheers, laughter, and excitement as the boxes came tumbling down were unforgettable! 🎉

This was also a wonderful way for our students to put our Moral Focus virtue of Gratitude into action! 💙 Through the generosity of our SCS families, students were reminded of the importance of giving, appreciating what we have, and coming together as a school community to make a difference!

A HUGE thank you to all of our SCS families who donated and helped us reach EXACTLY 1,000 boxes! And a special shoutout to our 6th graders and Mr. Hassen for making this unforgettable experience possible! 👏

🚁STEM Skills in Action at South Canton!

Thanks to the GVSU IMPACT 30 Grant, our middle school STEM students are taking learning to new heights! 🚀

Through this exciting opportunity, students are putting their collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills to the test as they work together to pilot drones through a series of obstacles!

From navigating tricky turns to adjusting their flight paths, our Sharks are practicing perseverance, critical thinking, and teamwork. It takes patience, strategy, and a little trial and error to successfully complete the course!

We are so excited that our students have the opportunity to participate in the GVSU IMPACT 30 Grant and experience hands-on STEM learning in such a fun and engaging way! 💙🦈

🦔💙Respect is in Action at South Canton!💙🦈

This month, our Sharks have been learning all about RESPECT! Through our Buddy Classrooms, students are building strong friendships, working together, and learning how to demonstrate our Moral Focus virtues!

This morning, Mrs. Bhavsar’s and Ms. Barakat’s classes came together to create adorable Harvey the Hedgehog crafts! 🦔💕 Students also discussed different ways they can show respect both at school and at home.

We love seeing our Sharks learning, growing, and building meaningful friendships together!

💙 Respecting Our Differences 💙

This month, our Moral Focus virtue is Respect! We were so lucky to welcome Mrs. Velita as our guest speaker!

As a mom of two sons with autism, Mrs. Velita shared an important message about kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. She reminded our Sharks that while we are all different in our own special ways, we are also alike in so many ways. Everyone deserves to feel included, valued, and respected!

Thank you, Mrs. Velita, for helping our Sharks understand that our differences make us unique, but respect brings us together!💙
